you can only do that because somebody decided to pipe the output
through 'less' or somesuch. you're percieving it as a gui feature
simply because that's the way you've used it right from the very
beginning. writing something for rio that simulated this behaviour
would be a nice exercise.

...there's a patch that adds the 'look' command to the middle-button
terminal menu so that one can select a string and search for it in
that particular window. the patch is sitting on our servers, if
whoever wrote it wants to submit it (either to the distribution or
separately on /sources) you may use that as a solution.
