Package: brandy
Version: 1.20-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Hi,
I've been trying to get some old basic language stuff going and trying
to find a working interpreter has not been easy. It seems that Brandy is
pretty good and works where others don't.

The programs I'm using need to scroll down the terminal a bit and it's good to 
be able
to see some history. When in graphics mode this is not possible.
Worse still, when in graphics mode, only the first 10 or so lines are visible. 
The
bottom of the screen is blank and seem to be unable to be accessed for
text.

I would suggest that graphics mode only be turned on when -graphics is passed to
brandy. I've built my own brandy and it seems to start in text mode by default.
I would also suggest letting the graphics screen scroll to the bottom of the
graphics space (unless this is exactly what the BBC Micro did).
Regards,
David
