My apologies to all for asking the question
unnecessarily; I had indeed checked xterm a 
long time back (and went through a phase
of multicoloured fg and bg colours) but missed
the scrolling options. Sorry. 
(I actually thought that, like solaris, I should
be looking for a separate tool and wasted time
searching through the x11 ports)

thank you for your help,

chas
