Is this possible? It just occurred to me that it would be great if there

any guesses how hard it would be to make such a critter?
I notice that "echo ':q' | vim <file>" sort-of works... it gives the
first page, plus trailing '~'s (if less then a page), although this
wouldn't work with TERM's where curses displays are a separate buffer
(like 'xterm', but not 'linux').
Maybe this is what you want:

I keep meaning to play with this, but it occurs to me I am pretty sure
this is not what I want. First off, I want 'cat', not 'more' (i.e. not a
pager). Second, for it to work right, it has to *not* use the termlib,
for the above-mentioned reason.
