I'm looking for a way to restrict DOS text output and scrolling to,
say, the bottom N lines of the screen. Is there a modified ANSI.SYS
driver that recognizes escape sequences to do that? (Several terminals
have this capability.) Alternatively, are there other ways to restrict
scrolling (except implementing my own text output routines on top of
BIOS calls) ?

I need this in an interactive graphics program that uses the DOS
interrupts to input and output text, to prevent text input/output and
scrolling from garbling the drawings in the top part of the screen.

I appreciate any suggestions. Please reply by e-mail, and I'll
summarize.

Thanks,

- Xavier Leroy
