- Synopsis:
- set scroll [on|off|toggle]
-
- Description:
- When turned on, the client will scroll text in a continuous, flowing
- fashion. Old messages are progressively moved to the top of the
- screen (and off of it) as new text is added to the bottom.
-
- When turned off, the client will overwrite old text with new text,
- screen by screen. This is primarily aimed at users with extremely
- dumb terminals (or terminal emulations) that cannot handle simple
- scrolling. Typical behavior of such terminals includes repeated
- overwriting of the last line in the display, instead of scrolling
- the text upward. It is also useful for users on extremely slow links
- (such as old 2400 bps modems), as it tends to be a bit quicker.
