    If I run ls -al on /usr/bin in Term, when I move the scroll bar up it goes to the top but doesn't fully list the directory (it stops at 'm' files).

    Is there a setting to change that will allow the scrollable area to show the entire listing?

    This on VMWare Workstation 17 Player running FreeBSD 13.2-p4.

    CDE was installed via pkg install CDE XORG as root.

    Add this to your .Xdefaults file:

    Dtterm*saveLines: 10s

    Where 's' means 10 screens.

    Or:

    Dtterm*saveLines: 2500

    which is probably more useful. BTW I used google, however I used to use this back when I ran CDE so it should work.

    Thank you Jon Trulson!

    Dtterm*saveLines:2500 works!
