Is there a way to scroll through lines on a screen while keeping a few lines
on the screen intact...?

Ie, If I have a  25 line screen, and want to keep 2 lines intact on the bottom
while scrolling three lines up above those two lines (somewhat akin to a text
editor)

By the same token is there a way to scroll three lines at the top of the screen
and have the rest scroll down the screen while keeping those two lines at the
bottom intact...?

I seem to recall something about a BIOS routine about this, but I was wondering
if I could do this in MS C, or Turbo C, or perhaps in a non-system specific
version of C (ANSI C).
