Mac os x Terminal.app's buffer and screen command

I use Mac os x Terminal.app to connect to my remote machine and then use screen on that machine.

Is there a way to use the scrollbars on Terminal to scroll back and forth on the screen's buffer. It is painful to do ctrl+a + Esc and then Page Up/Down

Thanks Arvind

I do not think you will be able to use the terminal's scrollbar in screen, because the terminal only knows about the 80x25 or so sized portion, and the display caching is done in the screen process.

You could try to bind it to an easier combo, see the CUSTOMIZATION section of the man page.
