In Console mode, the scrollbar is a console feature, not a Vim feature. But Vim will tell you at which "percentage" of the file you are looking, usually in the bottom-right corner of the current split-window, where it says one of the following: All Top Bot nn% The first three tell you that you see one end, or the other, or both, of the file, Otherwise it tells you a percentage, from 01% to 99%, meaning you are at that "percentage point" within the file. If you use a custom 'statusline' setting, it is the %P element (or you can use %p instead, for more verbosity). To get a Vim scrollbar, use gvim (or, on the Mac, macvim) instead of vim. Then you can set 'guioptions' to have or not have scrollbars on the left, right and/or bottom depending on some conditions (see ":help 'guioptions' " with the single quotes but not the double quotes).
