Subject: UNIX 4.0B Window Manager
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Is there any way to increase the scroll back buffer on terminal sessions
running under the window manager in UNIX 4.0B? I have looked under the
WINDOW, EDIT and OPTIONS menus and cannot seem to find the place to change
it. The problem is that it only seems to store about 100 lines, which
misses a lot of our output.
Thanks, Ron

From: HYDRA::LNARAYAN "R Lakshminarayan, Software Partner Engg" 16-APR-1997 16:21:11.08 To: US4RMC::"[email protected]" CC: LNARAYAN Subj: your question about the scroll buffer... Ron Young After doing some research I found how to increse the scroll buffer size! I assume that you are using dtterm with Digital UNIX 4.0 or above. please follow the below given steps: after opening all your sessions or dtterms STEP A cd $HOME/.dt/sessions ls -l If you dont see a directory called home, go to STEP B given below otherwise cd home edit the dt.session file add to the line that corresponds to the session for which you need to increase the scroll buffer, at the -sl number of lines. for example you may see several line like this dtsmcmd -hints "-geometry 1x1+0+0 -state NormalState -cmd \"/usr/dt/bin/dtterm- session dtaakFka -ls -sl 10000 \"" -screen 0 -cmd "/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -sessiond taakFka -ls" each correspons to one dtterm session add to the end of the line -sl number. for example dtsmcmd -hints "-geometry 1x1+0+0 -state NormalState -cmd \"/usr/dt/bin/dtterm- session dtaakFka -ls -sl 10000 \"" -screen 0 -cmd "/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -sessiond taakFka -ls -sl 1000" _________ the scroll buffer is 1000 lines now STEP B When change directory to $home/.dt/sessions, if you dont see a directory home, then you need to save your current session as home. To do this clik on style manager, clik on startup change "resume current session" "return to home session" clik OK logout and login NOW GO TO THE STEP A above IF you find the writeup is not clear, please let me know. I'll putit differently. Thank You With Best Regards -Nari Alpha developer Support | |||||
