Carl -
        That VLT forgets the character attributes is known and documented,
i.e. a feature. 8) It just takes too much memory to remember all that:
you need to remember foreground and background color and the other
attributes. You'd need a longword for each character in the review
buffer, or a memory use increase of a factor of 4 for the review buffer.
I decided early on against this.

        Willy.
