- True enough. That's the problem with "page-mode" hosts. However, if there's a
- page you truely want to save, you can use the "New Page" (I think that's the
- name) menu option, and it will start a "new page", i.e. whatever comes to the
- screen next will not clobber the previous snapshot.

- Eliminating them does *not* give you a readable session history. Stuff written
