If you mean screen scroll back then if you are using syscons (sitting at the
machine and not inside X and have not activated the vt console type) then
pressing the scroll lock key will let you use the cursor keys to review
the buffer. Press scroll lock again to get out of it.
If you mean a command history and are using bash as a shell then the cursor
keys are usually configured to transvers that buffer as well.
