Problem with no Scroll

Problem with no Scroll

[Dantin]

     I have all the latest files for cygwin and when I get it installed and
run the thing I get no scrolling at all. Was this a change to latter
versions? If so why? Scrolling came in handy when grepping data out of your
sorce. Or did I install it wrong? Or do I need another package? Thanks for
your help before hand.

Use rxvt.

If you search the email archives you should find numerous examples of
how people invoke rxvt.  I use a shortcut as follows:

	C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e bash --login

Read the rxvt(1) man page for details, such as command line options.

I realise this ought to be in the FAQ.

Hi,

I'd also recommend using rxvt.

I have a shortcut (I'm using W2K) with a target as follows:

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 2000 -e c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe --login -i

(my cygwin installation is in c:\cygwin)

When I click on the shortcut, it starts rxvt, runs bash
inside rxvt, and passes bash some flags so that it does
the login stuff. It also sets the window to have 2000
lines of scroll history.

Also if you find that the backspace doesn't do as you'd
expect when using telnet or ftp, make this the first
command you execute in the rxvt window: "stty erase ^?"
(you don't need this in bash as it does it's own keyboard
handling)

I hope these suggestions are helpful.

/John Vincent.
