[Argh!] I'll drink to that, at least to the extent that it should scroll up one line for every new line of output that arrives at the bottom of the screen. I looked into this briefly; it appears the 2/3-screen scrolling is done by "textv". Is there any way "tmv" could override this? (The 2/3-screen should perhaps be tunable in any case, as it is in Unipress EMACS - maybe GNU EMACS as well, dunno.) It might also be nice if "tmv" could pause when an entire screenful of output had come out. The problem is figuring out when it should (i.e., when the tty is being treated as a sequential file) and shouldn't (i.e., when some full-screen program is running) - basing it on cooked vs. uncooked mode on the tty means it will never pause when you're e.g. rlogged into or telnetted into another machine; this is a problem with the similar "pause every screenful" option in the SunView "shelltool".
