I use screen as my window manager through putty. Screen has been great, but I need a way to increase my buffer when I run commands. I have no buffer when I scroll up, no std out is saved beyond my window size on any terminal.
How can I increase this I can't seem to find an option in the commands? Ctrl + a ? doesn't seem to have what I am looking for.

Do Ctrl + a : then enter
scrollback 1234
sets your buffer to 1234 lines. You enter scrollback mode ("copy mode") with Ctrl + a Esc, then move in vi-style, leave copy mode with another Esc
