Nah, vt is broken :-)  Even vt -2.  It is adequate but not for curses
intensive operations, it doesn't delete lines in the bottom half of
the screen properly and doesn't clear to end of line either.

Of course, I should have fixed it long ago, but I stand by my
opinion that the effort is far greater than the gain.  There's no
guarantee that _I_ can fix it, either.

And the request was for operating the other way, like, how do you read
man pages without Rio?
