the screen buffer.

MORE INFORMATION

Choosing Save from the Terminal File menu will not save the text on the screen.

the Clipboard. This text may then be pasted into a text editor such as Write or
Notepad and saved for later use.

To save text on a Terminal screen, do the following:

1. Highlight the desired text.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

3. Open a text editor such as Write or Notepad.

4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.

5. From the File menu, choose Save.

To set the buffer size for Terminal, choose Terminal Preferences from the

lines of text.
