# $EPIC: scroll_backward,v 1.3 2001/04/20 23:35:35 dinodrac Exp $
Synopsis:
   bind <key> scroll_backward

Description:
   This function allows the user to move backwards in the client's lastlog
   one page at a time.  The percentage of the screen that makes up a page is
   defined by the set(4) scrollback_ratio variable. This is useful for
   reviewing events as they happened, in a manner easier than LASTLOG
   provides.

   This function requires that SCROLL be on in order to function.  The
   SCROLL_START function must be used to use the scrollback feature, and
   SCROLL_END must be used to exit it.

Other Notes:
   While the client is in scrollback, the client will continue to buffer
   ALL incoming text from the server, up to availible system memory.
   This is not a bug, however it can easily consume all system memory if
   a client is left in scrollback mode for an extended time period.
