Good Day:
I used Terminal successfully for an entire college semester, since I
had to remotely run programs on the Computer Science servers through SSH and
transfer files through SFTP. Two rather obvious things occur to me:
1. Are you interacting with the Shell element, which contains the text of your
session?
2. Note that you cannot use the arrow keys by themselves to read the screen.
You must use the VO-arrow keys to read the terminal output, which does indeed
include previous commands.
Again, I am having no problems with the terminal, and, much to my relief, I
don't even have to worry about scroll bars.
HTH:

Education never ends. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.
