The scrollbar is set/unset by either an option or an xrm-resource-string for the AIXTerm. Per default it is off.

1. Possibility: Invoke aixterm with the -sb option:

Code:

aixterm -sb -sl <nr-of-lines-to-save> &

2. Possibility: Invoke aixterm using an xrm-resource-string

Code:

aixterm -xrm scrollBar:true &

3. Possibilty: Put these xrm resource strings into the default configuration by adding them to the file "~/.Xdefaults". Add (any of) the following lines to the file ".Xdefaults" in your home directory:

Code:

AIXTerm*scrollBar: true
AIXTerm*saveLines: <nr of lines to save in the scroll buffer>
AIXTerm*scrollPosition: [left|right]

The default for saveLines is 64, the default for scrollPosition is "right".

Reference: AIXTerm documentation

I hope this helps.
