[IPython-user] printing lots of stuff to the screen

[Jerry McRae]

I believe it is a property of the shell, not IPython.  You didn't say what
OS you are using.

If you are on a Windows box, open the cmd shell menu (either click on top
left icon, or us alt-<space>.  Then Properties, layout tab, and change the
Screen Buffer Size Height to a larger number.  I have mine set to a width of
100 and height of 3000.  The Window Size needs to be divisors.  I have mine
100 and 50.

If you are on a different OS, someone else will have to help.

If IPython can modify these values, it would be new to me.

HTH, TGFI
