Pager size in 1.2.2 Windows

The following sequence of commands (for example):

 >my.data<-rnorm(10000, 5, 1)
 >my.data

fills my pager buffer beyond its capacity.  When I type "my.data", the 
pager displays approximately the bottom 7000 cells of the file, but "loses" 
the first 3000.  Is there a some setting that increases the size of the 
pager buffer, or is this a limit in the Windows version?

I'm running Windows NT with 512MB RAM.

First, I assume this is the console and not a pager, and you are displaying
an object and not a file?

The console scrollback size can be set in the file Rconsole, at the lines

# memory limits for the console scrolling buffer, in bytes and lines
bufbytes = 65000
buflines = 8000

You've hit the first one: you need about 10 bytes per item.
