When LINGO sends output to the command window, it places new lines at the bottom of the window. All previous output is scrolled up to make way for the new output. The total number of output lines that can be stored in the command window is limited. When LINGO hits this limit, it begins deleting lines from the top of the command window. You can control this feature by setting the WNLINE and WNTRIM parameters.

The WNLINE parameter sets the maximum number of lines allowed in the command window. When LINGO removes lines from the top of the command window, it stops once there are n lines left in the command window, where n is the value of the WNTRIM parameter. In general, output to the command window will become slower as you increase the maximum and minimum line counts.

The default values for WNLINE and WNTRIM are, respectively, 800 and 400. Minimum values are 200 and 100, while there are no upper limits.
