I'm wondering if you are a windows user?  On Unix systems, most
terminals will scroll back if you do shift page-up or control page-up,
depending on which termial emulator.  The Windows thing "swarm terminal"
is just a dumb old DOS box with bash as the command shell, and it won't
scroll. In this list, there was one user who told me he found a
commercial box replacement that did scroll, but I never found out where
he got it or if there is a free alternative.

If my guess is correct, that you use WIndows, that is, the easiest thing
is to open a shell under Emacs and run in there, and then you can scroll
up and down to see all the output.  In Emacs, do Alt-x and type:  shell.

The alternative is to divert the output into a file with &> (in bash,
that will grab standard out and standard error into a file)
