As I said earlier, it worked fine for years -- until now.  And yes, I
know both tools have their own buffers, but there must be a way to use the
good old Shift+PgUp to scroll back, when screen runs under rxvt -- just as
there is using xterm.

I'm using fvwm on my (rather weak and slow) machine and I'd hate to give
up on my slim rxvt.  :-)  But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Cheers,
Andi.
