Tom,
One of the best scroll recallers I'm aware of is FANSI-Console
available by anonymous ftp from Simtel in directory PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>.
Get FCON200.ARC and FCONSDOC.ARC. This replacement for DOS's ANSI.SYS
has many, many features besides the scroll recall (speeds up key
repeat rate, allows saving the scroll recall buffer to a file, screen
blanking, and I-don't-know-what-all)

	I am curious to see if someone posts info on a GOOD program
for providing ONLY the scroll recall function.
	-bd-

PS After experiencing scroll recall, I would sure hate to give it up.
