One way to join up larger files is this.  Turn off the scroll to bottom
option in Prefs().  Then, if we render a record in such a way that there
is extra space at the bottom, automatically move to the next record, but
only render it in a window that starts at the bottom of the previous
record.  One way to do this is just to relax the requirement that
meta->visualOffset has to be negative.  Allow a positive one, and the code
will do this.  One can do this in a way that will be largely transparent
to the user.  I think it would take minimal coding.  Basically, one would
have to modify the scrolling functions a little.

The solution is non-ideal in that it would produce a very visible pause in
the autoscrolling.  (How long, by the way, do page renders take on 68K
units with the CVS version?)
