I do not agree to disable the line control by default, many times I was
obliged to kill a Scilab session because after I have disabled the line
control  I mistakely asked for the display of a huge matrix. In such
case the display can take several minutes....


But it should be a good idea to have a default value for the number of
lines larger than the number of  lines currently visible in the console.
(let say about 3 or 4 pages)
