I've noticed this problem with "scrolling" in VI, the last 4 lines scrolled
at  the bottom of the screen will get "Munged" but i think it was a problem with
using MoreRowa and having 33 (or so) lines...

(At least i haven't noticed it with the Newset version of VLT)

ps: In the menus with Subitems i think a the >> symbol looks Ugly..
I think a ... (3 dots) would look nicer..  :^)


ANyone Noticed Problems with VI and VLT? 

(How about explaining in ENGLISH what i do to get blink.scp to 
withstand the <esc> key)
