My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

The scrollback settings of a terminal window are not dependent upon the shell being used, but rather on the terminal window (xterm, konsole, etc). If you are running in an xterm, you can set the number of lines of scrollback with command arguments (see the xterm man pages). Ditto for other terminal/console applications. Some, you can configure at runtime. For example, the KDE Konsole terminal application can have the number of history lines altered with the Settings->History menu option at runtime. It will remember that for future sessions. In my case, I use a rather large scroll buffer (10,000 lines).
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
