Nope, the manpage includes this (and looking at git history, has
since its inception):

EXAMPLES
     st -e scroll /bin/sh

You must have misread it. Anyway, I'm glad it's working for you.
This thread encouraged me to try it out too (I've been using dvtm
for this purpose up 'til now), and it seems to be working just fine.
