You know what... my faulty memory got me again. I was remembering when I was
configuring WordStar and there were two sets of escape codes for Insert Line
and Delete Line which VT100 does not have but which WS-BIBLE.DOC recommends
using with devices which do support it (like Kaypros) to speed up display
refreshes (because there's the ruler and status lines at the top, you can
scroll the screen when moving down a document and just re-draw those lines when
you stop, but if you scroll backwards the ruler and status lines would move
down with the text... on VT100 it re-draws what it can between each Ctrl-W and
re-draws the whole thing when you stop, but on a machine with Insert Line
capability it could insert the new lines just below the ruler line and let the
terminal scroll the rest down the screen...)
I mixed up the lack of Insert/Delete Line functionality with the backwards
scrolling that doesn't currently work right in TEXT. Sorry Stephen.
