I believe what you are trying to do is what this post here explains.
Below is a copy of the original site text:
The Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) has always been known for being
underpowered compared to Linux, but have you ever noticed that to view
the resort of the longest
scroll?
You can easily scroll with just the keyboard, but to get into the
"Scroll Mode" you'll have to use a 4-key combination that reminds me
of cheat codes on old nintendo games ... Up, Up, Down, Down ...
Press Alt + Space together, and then E, then L
This will put the command prompt into "Scroll" mode, where you can use
the Page Up / Down keys as well as the arrow keys.
To get out of this mode, you can hit the Esc or Enter keys.
