	I use Boyan communications software on an IBM (Unipaq)
compatible.  Boyan employs a scroll back buffer that I use to capture
files, messages, and mail that are sent to the screen via --More--,
mail, and prompt messages.  My question is this: when running Emacs,
the scroll-back buffer seems to be disabled, anyone know why?  In Emacs,
I am able to save the screen with Alt-S, but it is not as flexible as
the scroll-back feature.  I suspect that Emacs uses some other means
of communicating to the screen that is causing this anomaly.

	Thanks in advance,
