The problem with reconsidering this assumption is that it leaves you with no recourse but to move to a new line (and who knows, it may be a line containing newly-wrapped text) and just do a fresh redraw when you get a SIGWINCH. That's going to leave even more text on the screen than now, for gains only in pathological cases. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/
