Well, all "several" of those terminal programs are the kind Jim
would call "indecent."  There no reason a terminal program can't do
the scrolling itself, instead of letting the ROM do it badly [in the
case of the unenhanced //e].  Many terminal programs do handle
scrolling themselves, including Jim's favorite one (which I'm sure
he will tell the net about in due time).
