I second the motion. As a matter of fact I was going to ask for this a long long time ago but had forgotten all about it. I am always at the console of my box and could REALLY use this. Sometimes I see important information scroll by, forget that it will be lost and change VCs. Then "AAAGH!@#$" and I have to run the command again (or whatever).
I think it'd be fine if we used a piece of real RAM for it (hey, it's not that much. Besides it could be made a compile-time option or something like that if you wanna spare a few K's).
Comments? Is it possible?
