4.5.1 Console Preferences
The stream-based console window is a completely separate library, using
its own configuration info. It will look at the environment variable
CONSOLE, which should contain a string of the form
name:value{,name:value} where name is
one of the following:
sl
- The number of lines you can scroll back. There is no limit, but the
more you specify the more memory will be used. Memory is allocated when
data becomes available. The default is 200.
rows
- The initial number of lines. The default is 24.
cols
- The initial number of columns. The default is 80.
x
- The X coordinate of the top-left corner. The default is determined by
the system.
y
- The Y coordinate of the top-left corner. The default is determined by
the system.
Many of these settings are also accessible from the menu `Settings'
of the console.
