Any way to prevent programs like Vim from clearing scrollback buffers?

For vim specifically, the following line in ~/.vimrc should prevent that:
set t_ti= t_te=
For "man" -- it uses "less" by default as a pager. So, you can set the
environment variable "LESS" to include the character "X". "man" .
export LESS=X
Note that the above will also prevent "less" from clearing the screen on
exit.
