	I'm just ressurecting mysystem after a particularly fatal HD 
crash. I'll look into it then. BTW, is anybody interested in fast-ish 
scrolling region support for terminals that don't normally do it? I 
figured a simple trick that I incorporated into a past curses lib of 
mine, that allows VT100 scrolling regions on all terminals 
with insert-line, delete-line and cursor addressing.
