How to remove the scrollbar in Terminal.app on Mac OS X 10.6?

Question

If there is a way. I know iTerm2 has it.

If program A has a feature, it does not mean program B automatically has the same feature too. It has to be added by someone. (And Apple tries its best to avoid explosion of customization options.) — grawity_u1686, Commented May 6, 2011 at 18:38
Rxvt has printf '\e[?30l'; it might work in other terminals. — grawity_u1686, Commented May 6, 2011 at 18:40
@grawity Doesn't. I also assume that Apple would put that in the preferences if they added that feature. — Daniel Beck, Commented May 8, 2011 at 9:09

Go to System Preferences -> General and change Show scroll bars to When scrolling.

Thank you. It's a bit weird to set a system-wide setting that affects all programs, but perhaps that's behavior I can get used to.
