Scroll buffer size in terminal window

emp1953 · 07-24-2008, 12:58 PM

I am using a CDE that I think is from GNU. Using redhat linux.

How do I increase the scroll buffer size of the default terminal window that comes up in bash (bourne again shell) it only scrolls up two screens worth of data.

Thanks

What's the name of the terminal emulator?

I did a ps -elf but the column I'm used to seeing in unix that tells the name is missing. How else do I identify the emulator name?

According to the "set" command the TERM is xterm

In that case the option is
-sl <number of lines>
(with a default of 64) ... how to make that into CDEs settings
I cannot tell.

Cheers,
