Well, it used to work.  (That was quite a while ago)


Back to LONG LINE stuff:
The reason it leaves lines at the top is because of the way it does half
screen scrolls - I'm changing this to be dependant on your BAUD: if you
have a slow link, then you stay with half screen scrolls; if your BAUD
is higher then you get single line scrolls - looks much nicer.

You'll get >.... if there is text before the start of the screen.
You'll get <.... if there is text after the end of the screen (new)

BUGS:
 1. the first bug must be my fault since it's a refresh bug - I will be 
     looking into it (only noticed it checking this other Long line stuff)

 2. when I do "echo **/*<TAB>" (producing lots and lots of args)
    then <RETURN>  I get a core-dump (clean 3.0-pre2) (dies on strlen()
    in taddstr).  If other people can't reproduce I can send more info.

(gdb) print *n
$2 = {next = 0x0, last = 0x0, dat = 0x0}
