buffer question
Hi... I have a question about how many lines the window can remember... is there an environemtn varible for this I can change??? I'm not talking about how many previous commands it remembers. I am talking about how many lines it remembers and for how many lines I can press "page-up" and I can review them. Currently it is only about 80 lines.

Thanks.

If this is a terminal mode session like telnet, the telnet client controls windowing, X session likewise.

Is this what you mean?

What type of window are you trying to control?

Hmm - are you talking about an xterm window?

If so, add something like this to ~/.Xdefaults (or modify the existing value)
xterm*saveLines: 200
to give 200 scrollable lines - or increase/decrease to suit your needs.

Cheers
