    Default Text screen history

    IIRC the numer on lines stored in the buffer for the text screen used to be controllable, but I don't recall how that was set, nor do I see any setvars that seem to be relevant. Any ideas?

    I thought it lasted for the duration of the current session.
    I do have the slightest feeling that you might be right but, if so, it was many releases ago - DOS versions, perhaps?

    I can't go scroll up more than three-four hundred lines or there abouts. I guess a workaround would be to turn on logging, do stuff, turn off logging, and then open the logfile.

    Probably post-DOS, since the text screen in DOS wouldn't have had scroll bars. R12 and Windows for Workgroups - or R14 maybe...?

    I seem to remember a limit of 400 lines. Can't remember if it was configurable.

    I did remember it being configurable too. I found a reference to the CmdHistLines variable in the adesk 2000i forum, which we had. So the history lines are history.
