Hi,

Having a no scroll option (or no line wrap) has been around for
decades in all kinds of devices - even in dumb terminals with
ANSI/VT100 codes needing it, etc..  Obviously a framework of a console
interface with status bars/etc that go all the way to the end of the
screen, but that will have to be left out so there will be a black
hole in the lower right corner.  You can't update the entire screen
since nothing can exist in that corner.
