scroll lock vs shift page up keys usage

2004-01-31 Thread Didier Wiroth
Hi,
(fbsd novice using bash2)
I switched from csh to bash2 today.

I was wondering if it is possible under bash2 to scroll the screens in the ttyv0-6 
consoles with shift page up and shift page down. In csh I've always used Scroll 
lock but I thought under bash it is possible. 

When under X with xterm you can browse the screens with shift page up and shift 
page down. 

In some linux distros that uses bash shift page down and up are a normal feature. Is 
this a shell feature, you have to activate in your bash_profile/bashrc file or is this 
a freebsd syscons driver limitation?

many thanks

This is not a matter of the shell but the console. You can use PCVT to achieve 
that, but why do you want to? Personally speaking, I love the SC console with 
the scroll Feature!!!
