The closest you can come to scrolling is to add /p after a command or |more.
example
dir /p or dir |more
| is the symbol on the same key as the backslash.

Search "scrollback buffer". You should find a number of TSRs that can provide this for you... most of them use the Scroll Lock key, which used to be for the scrollback buffer back when systems had this built into the BIOS.
