Changing the scroll limit in ksh

I don't have my SysV bible with me currently and I can't remember how to change the amount of lines visible in my shell. Currently I can only scroll back to see the last 100 lines of stdout.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

blessings,

this is not a shell limit. this is configured by your terminal program.

Thanks Jerky! :-)

I could have swore it was set with a "set tty scrollback= something or other" in the .profile.
