Yes, but it's not trivial.  You have to dig into the bottom layer of the
screen handler, replacing the VT52-flavored scrolling code by code that
calls vro_cpyfm() to scroll the screen directly.   If you can do this,
you have demonstrated a good understanding both of the internal structure
of MicroEmacs and of Gem.  Good luck.
