Yes, that would be nice. Not quite, but similar. More like a terminal program I wrote for the IBM-PC about 4 years ago, so I could watch commands on the VAX and the PDP-11 at the same time. It was more useful for a text display to make the screens slide up from the bottom, displaying the last few lines of the next screen. The reason was that for text screens it's usually the stuff at the bottom that's most important. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva . 'U` -------------- +1 713 274 5180.
