There already *IS* a cli hack that gives you a scroll-bar.  It let's you
define how many lines you want for your buffer, and doesn't (appear, via
avail) to require that memory to be chip mem.  It's called CB, and is 
available (I believe) on Xanth.  Really quite nice.  It will also allow
you to produce hardcopies of CLI sessions.  In addition, the author
sais (in the DOC file) that it will work with any shell.  (I know 
I probably shoulda emailed this, but it seemed like this could be useful to 
several people.)
