+|Documentation|----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The `history' is a facility, that allows to get access to lines
+scrolled out from the visible part of the display. It is mainly used
+to present the complete result of an operation that produces much
+output, such as compilation runs.
+
+This facility is offered by virtually any terminal around on Linux.
+
+There are basically two means to control the visible section of the
+history. One can both use the keyboard, by pressing Shift-PageUp and
+Shift-PageDown, and, if the scrollbar is visible, one can use it to
+page through the history also.
+
+Once parts of the history become visible, konsole maintains this
+position, even if new text is added to the history meanwhile. Thus, it
+is in history display mode. One can revert to normal operation most
+quickly by typing any character (which is then not passed to the
+application) or scroll down to the end.
