That's all amusing but rather silly. If anybody is using the command line enough that this hack is worthwhile, they are better off running GNU Screen, which comes installed on every Mac. GNU Screen presents a bit of a learning hurdle at first, but once you are off and running, you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

  Screen also doesn't help as far as having scrollback available to the Mac's desktop. I often will copy entire scrollback buffers and paste them in another application.

  screen(1) is a convenient and powerful tool. Originally written to allow character-oriented display terminals to emulate windowing capability, it can also be used within Terminal windows. Its ability to detach from and re-attach to program sessions is particularly cool.
  However, it does little for the user who wants to manage a number of Terminal windows, viewing them simultaneously and moving them on and off the screen(s) as a set. This article (and the hack it describes) addresses that case.
