As part of a program that I'm developing on the macintosh, I have need for
what could best be described as a 'simple terminal window'.  What I need
is a window that can handle such requests as "goto XY" (for text, as with
the rest of the requests), "clear to End-Of-Line", "clear to End-of-Screen",
and "Clear Screen".  Further, I would like to be able to have the window
gracefully scroll up *one* line when new text is added to the bottom
(rather than the bizarre Toolbox scroll-zero-or-1/2-page behaviour).

The window can either be a TE window or not, though using a TE window has
the advantage that it's a lot easier to refresh upon window rewrite events.

Any suggestions?  Sample code?  etc etc.
 
		Thanks a lot for your help, oh net-folk!!
