CDE

While viewing large amounts of data on a screen(Ex: large directory listing),
sometimes scrolling is required. There are times when the quantity of lines
saved are not enough to view the listing. What does it take to extend the
quantity of lines per screen.

In VUE, it was a resource that was changed, going thru edit resources. I am now
running HP-UX, 10.2, CDE, and that structure has changed.

Whether you're using dtterm, hpterm, or good old xterm, you can pass the usual
scroll controls like so:
xterm -sb -sl 2000
This will enable the scroll bar, and specifies a scroll buffer size of 2000
lines.

If you're launching the dtterm from the icon on the CDE front panel, you'll
need to either edit the default Dtterm definition under
/usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/ or override the Dtterm definition (highly
recommended) in ~/.dt/types/. If you're not familiar with editing .dt and .fp
files for CDE, it's a whole new can of worm, and you're better off launching
additional terms from the command line for now.

There is a way to increase the saved lines count for the default Dtterm in
CDE.
1) Create /etc/dt/app-defaults if it does not already exist.
2) Create /etc/dt/app-defaults/C
3) Copy /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm into /etc/dt/app-defaults/C
4) Edit the new Dtterm file and include the following line:
Dtterm*saveLines: 2500
5) Change the 2500 to whatever value you want.
This will give you the desired results.
