# To get screen to add lines to xterm's scrollback buffer, uncomment the
# following termcapinfo line which tells xterm to use the normal screen buffer
# (which has scrollback), not the alternate screen buffer.
#
#termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@

You'd probably want termcapinfo Eterm ti@:te@


It's not a perfect solution, but some people are happy with it. The rest
just use screen's scrollback (copy mode).
