I'd like to have the ability to set how much scrollback history the terminal handles, ie if I set 1,000,000 lines I'd like to be able to scrollback that far. the limit of I think 9999 in current powershell. It's one thing that putty offered that always drove me crazy as a short coming of powershell.

Thanks :), usually I needed to just bump mine to be 20,000 in putty, it would be nice to have it configurable higher still for the odd time it's needed, but I can understand not wanting to have it default to alot more than that :)
