Saving screen and scroll-back buffer text to a file
Communication saves the last 175 lines of text in the scroll-back buffer, which
is an area that stores the text that scrolls off the screen. This information is
stored so that you can view it by scrolling back through the window.
Otherwise, all the text that scrolls off your screen would be lost. By saving
text in a file, you can prevent' the loss of incoming text.

diskette.
