Re: Page up and window size


Are you using NT/2000?

If you are, right click on the upper left corner of the CMD window, and 
goto properties.

In the properties you can change the buffer length, on mine I have it set 
to 5000 (yes 5 thousand) lines.

This is very handy.  Depending on how the interactive program worked 
(Ansi/terminal handling), this could have various side effects.

Thanks,

Matt Minnis
