What are you using for your terminal? If you are using xterm, then you
can configure the scrollback buffer with the -sl command line option.
rxvt surely has a similar option. If you are using the plain old CMD
interface for some reason, right click on the title bar, select
properties, then layout, then change the screen buffer height.
