   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...

Could be a problem with your termcap. As others have notices, VLT
isn't a perfect VT100 emulation, so minor gotchas can make things go
wierd. Of course, minor changes in VLT might fix some of these, too.

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

Yeah, I agree - it's ugly. But it's "the standard." "..." is reserverd
for meaning you're going to open a requester.

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

Um, change the name of the label to something that starts (or is it
ends) with a '$' (dollar sign). Look in the update notes for 5.034.
