Saturday night I saw a new hack on one of the services (either PLink or Delphi,
don't remember which) that remembers the text on your con: and allows you to
scroll it back.  The author suggests you use it with conman, but will work
without it.

I didn't download it, but wanted you to know it's available.

This was slated for the 1.2 release but never made it in.  Maybe 1.3 ...
