When I run a batch file that opens an XP command window, I can click on the
"C:\" command-window icon at the left side of the title bar to get a
drop-down menu which includes an "Edit" item. Clicking on "Edit", I get a
second menu which offers, among others, the option "Scroll". Clicking
"Scroll" allows me to scroll through the contents of the command window
using the up and down arrow keys, which I prefer to clicking in the scroll
bar or using my mouse wheel.

Is there any way to enable this Scroll mode as the default without having to
select it each time from the menu? Could this be done with a command in the
batch file? A Registry edit? Some other way?

Thanks.

David

My answer is "No". Because, for Command Prompt the Up and Down keys are meant
to be work for Doskey. Therefore, the default behavior of those keys are
repeating the commands stored in Doskey.

I prefer you should use Scroll Wheel of your Mouse.
