If you mean screen scroll back then if you are using syscons (sitting at the machine and not inside X and have not activated the vt console type) then pressing the scroll lock key will let you use the cursor keys to review the buffer. Press scroll lock again to get out of it. If you mean a command history and are using bash as a shell then the cursor keys are usually configured to transvers that buffer as well. ________________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@bmv.state.me.us darren.henderson@state.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
