dtterm buffer question

[Dan Copeland]

Admins,

Where can you set the buffer size for all dtterms that are started when I login into CDE?

I have five windows w/ two dtterms in each window. I want to have all their buffers set to some large number.

Any ideas?

tia,
Frank

vi $HOME/.Xdefaults

dtterm*saveLines:

wq!

exit out of CDE and back in for changes to take effect or

dtterm -sl comandline option see man dtterm(1) for full details on both.

ps you may need to add a resource for scrollbar too : use *scrollBar: True for hpterm & xterm I think its a default with dtterm though.

Eg: To increase the dtterm buffer size to hold 10 screens.

# cd /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C
# cp dt.dt /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/dt.dt
# vi /etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/dt.dt
......
EXEC_STRING /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -sb -sl 10s
......
