Re: Scrollable bash and print to logfile

[donalson]

First, I have no self control so I must...

You have a GREAT last name!!!  (I am Douglas Dale Donalson [grin])

I have never ben successful at getting scrol bars on the Win 95/98 DOS window
(which is what bash uses.)  It works in NT.  The alternate is to get emacs for
windows.  (I'm sorry but I can't remember the site.  I'll bet one of the drones
can help with that.)  It is an easy install with one requirement, install it on
your C: drive.  When I make a new Swarn install I install emacs followed by
Cygnus and finaly Swarn.  Marcus has done such a good job with the Win version
of the install that Swarm autoimatically finds emacs and makes the Cygnus shell
its default.  All you have to do is start an emacs window, hit ESC-x, type in
the word "shell" followed by return and presto... bash in emacs.  Then you have
scroll bars and a whole lot more.

I strongly recomend this approach.  Hope this helps...
