I just set up Terminal for my work PC and when I went to set the Terminal Preferences, I noticed the Show Scroll Bars check box. I had disabled them on my home PC because I was only getting 78 columns with it enabled. That seems to happen for both EGA and VGA. So you can have scroll bars on a 78 column display. I guess I'll generally leave it disabled and use PageUp/PageDown to review data. I just tried it, it works. This may not be a problem with SVGA. Now I'm even more impressed with Terminal. If only it had a script language... Apologies to the net. My face is red. -- Marshall L.
