My apologies to all for asking the question unnecessarily; I had indeed checked xterm a long time back (and went through a phase of multicoloured fg and bg colours) but missed the scrolling options. Sorry. (I actually thought that, like solaris, I should be looking for a separate tool and wasted time searching through the x11 ports) thank you for your help, chas >You should've checked 'man xterm'. If you did that then you would've >known about the -sb option. Try 'xterm -sb' and see if that is what >you're looking for. > >| On Digital Unix, the term (decterm) windows are >| scrollable.
