Actually, scrollbars are a function of the application.  Xterm, by
default, doesn't use them, but you may enable them in several ways as
folks here have pointed out.

I actually only rarely want scrollbars on my windows...  If I need to
scroll back, I usually need to scroll about 10 lines past whatever I've
set my limit to be...  No matter what I set my limit to be.
