Page-Up Page-Down in MATLAB terminal

Hi,

I am running MATLAB with no display on a linux machine. For some reason, I am unable to scroll up and down using the page-up / page-down keys.

When I press page-up, I am actually scrolling through the command history instead of shifting the viewing window up. A similar thing happens when I press page-down.

I read somewhere else that holding the CTRL key while pressing page-up and page-down could resolve the issue. But I am getting [5;5~ and [6;5~ when I hold the CTRL key.

How do I scroll up and down in the terminal? If I can't get the page-up / page-down keys working, is there some other way, like using a command to scroll the viewing window up / down?

Thanks.

Are you using the machine console with no graphics running? Or are you connecting via serial port? If neither, then although you might be running with -nodisplay you would be running inside a terminal session provided by Linux (e.g., xterm) and that would be the tool that would offer scrolling.

I did echo $TERM, then searched for the relevant document. In xterm, it is indeed shift and page-up / page-down to scroll up / down. I happened to be in the screen program.
