I don't have one to test, but this is in my dusty memory banks... Run
this when you're at a shell prompt on the console.

echo " ^v <esc> [ q "

Put those four characters within the double quotes with no spaces. I
think it's just an ansi sequence to reverse the screen.

Quote, control-vee, escape, left-bracket, Q, quote.
