Windows XP command line

[Cpntrips]

I want to increase the number of lines I can see when scrolling back up to look at previous commands. For instance, I have a directory with over a thousand files in it and I'd liek to be able to scroll up and see the entire list after executing the "dir" command. Ive increased the buffer size in the properties but that didnt seem to work.

Anyone know how to do this?

Go back in the command prompt properties, go to the layout tab, in the "Screen Buffer Size" area, change the 'height' setting to however many lines you want it to be.
