I have not done this with cygwin-x before,
but I do it with my sun solaris.
Create .Xdefaults at home directory if does not already exists.
google or man xterm should tell you more.
Enter/append lines similar to these:
xterm*scrollBar: true
xterm*saveLines: 4000
xterm*cursorColor: Red
xterm*pointerColor: Blue
xterm*borderColor: Red

Hi all. I'm a *nix newbie. In M$ Windows, I can edit the properties of
a console window and thus create a scrollback history.
However, the xterms in Cygwin have no scrollbar. How does one activate
the scrollbar and adjust the length of scrollback history?
