The scroll bar enables you to display lines that are stored in memory above or below the
view of the window. The display buffer (i.e. the memory containing the lines above, in,
and below the window view) can hold up to a maximum of 999 lines. The setting of the
Display Rows and Memory Rows options in the Terminal Settings dialog box deter-
mines the number of lines currently displayed and stored in the buffer. The scroll bar rep-
resents the entire buffer.
The scroll bar includes up and down scroll arrow buttons and a scroll box to enable you
to scroll through the buffer.
The scroll arrow buttons allow you to scroll up or down a line at a time or several lines at
a time when tapped, depending on the setting of the Jump Scroll option in the Terminal
Settings dialog box (refer to the Setup Menus chapter for details). Holding the stylus on a
scroll arrow enables continuous scrolling.
The scroll box allows you to quickly move through the buffer by placing the stylus on it
then dragging it up or down the scroll bar.
Clicking the stylus in the scroll bar above or below the scroll box causes the previous or
next block of data to be displayed. (A block is equal to the number of lines and columns
displayed in the window.)
When you are running one of the DEC 'VT' terminal emulations, you can scroll vertically
by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys.
When you are running one of the DEC 'VT' terminal emulations, it is possible to make the
width of display memory larger than the width of the window by using the Memory Page
Width option in the Terminal Settings dialog box. When you want to view columns
stored off-screen, you can scroll horizontally by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing
the Left or Right Cursor keys.
