Re: [Jed-users-l] "fix" scrolling?

John,

I'm using emacs emulation. The variable is described as 


Integer_Type TERM_CANNOT_SCROLL: value = 0


In bash the TERM variable is set to xterm. This is using gnome-terminal. I just tried it in the console (outside of X) and jed scrolls just fine there. Any idea on what might be causing this?


Thank you for any help (and for jed!)

What terminal and editor emulation are you using?  Also, what is the
value of the TERM_CANNOT_SCROLL variable?  You can obtain this
value using the "Help->Describe Variable" menu item.

Thanks,
