.... hehehe.... yes, and I have some ancient, reptilian memory of CTRL-S
being used to "stop" output at the terminal (and I think it used to send a
NACK down the 300 baud lines; back in those days - which were SO much nicer
than punched cards and printouts -  at 300 baud, or about 30 characters per
second ....  yes, 2-3 seconds per LINE of output on your terminal!!!  ....
you simply did NOT need paging programs much, and interactive editors had to
be EXTREMELY efficient in output, or no one would use them!

Ah,,,   Good old  CTRL-S / CTRL-Q   .... for STOP and RERUME output;
_those were the days!

NOT! :-)
