More lines in terminal?

How do I get terminal in Ubuntu 10.04 to hold more lines? So that when I scroll up I can see everything.

Thanks.

From memory, it's where you edit profiles and in there somewhere. Edit->Edit Profiles?

Edit - Yeah if you go Edit -> Profiles -> Edit on default then the scrolling tab

To make a more permanent change:

The default size of the gnome terminal window in Ubuntu can be modified by editing
/usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop
This is the file that is parsed when you select
Applications->System Tools->Terminal

Editing this file will affect the menu for all users on the machine.

Modify the Exec= entry to read:
Exec=gnome-terminal --geometry=132x24

Remember, you'll need to do sudo before editing the file.
