    I've noticed that if the screen scrolls while W is running, somehow 
W's notion of the screen scrolls along with it.  Ie, you can move windows 
and the mouse off the upper edge of the screen, but you cannot get to the 
lower edge.  This bug must have taken some PRETTY fancy programming to 
achive!  Kudos.  Anyways, normally this isn't a problem, because W 
catches console output.  However, it also prints a line or two of 
diagnostic info when it first runs which screws up it's conception of the 
screen if the cursor is on the bottom line of the screen when you start 
W.  This could easilly be fixxed by sending a screen-clear VT code before 
printing anything.
