Previous text is deleted and I can't see the output

[jasonmesser7]

After I execute commands it often clears the previous commands and outputs. I would like to be able to scroll up and see the old output, particularly when I am trying to understand why a particular deployment failed.

This is by design. it is cleaner in a demo environment to have the screen clear of distractions. The demo mode was the original use case. We can add a command line switch to make this configurable and default to clear on demo but not clear on other modes. Which modes would you suggest the "not clear" be the default?

It seems like it would make sense to have the output for learn, tutorial, and especially test as it would be helpful to look into why a certain test failed.

[rgardler-msft]

Test does not clear in the current version. Learn and Tutorial I'm mixed on. It only clears on a new heading, so the clear is like a "new section". You can hit 'd' to see previous descriptions. Either way if a new command line switch is provided personal preference can override the default.
