I am not sure about W98, but in NT 4.0 I open the command shell properties
dialog, go to the Layout tab and set the buffer size to 10 times the window
height.  This gives me vertical scroll bars and the ability to look at the
last 10 screens.  The maximum buffer size seems to be 9999.

Regards,
David

Assuming that's what Jan is looking for (and I believe it is too), 9x doesn't
have this very useful capability in command.com.  Anyone who is interested 
can check out the discussion in the archives on this very subject
from a week or two back.  The short version is either get some 
commercial Win32 replacement for command.com (4DOS or another product I
don't recall the name of) or work with rxvt (with or without X11).

On a similar note, can anybody tell me how to bind my page-up and
page-down keys to scroll the window (using the normal NT command shell,
that is)? Given how long it took me to figure key-binding out under Unix,
I don't want to image how long it would take me for Windows...

thanks,
Dan

Why not invoke a DOS window, do a
    mode 80,100
and then invoke bash?

Rats!  I'm only allowed to do mode 80,50 under WinDos98.

Half-OS, where are you?

What, 50 lines is not enough for you??  Boy, you want EVERYTHING!;-)

Seriously, the answer to this issue is - don't look for the answer from
MS!
