Hi.  There's one thing that a lot of workstations do, that I'd like to see my
Amiga workstation do (it's all in the attitude 8-).  Many unix boxes scroll their
windows by a paging sort of method.  They fill up the window, then they scroll
the whole thing to the top (or clear it), and then they begin to fill the window
again.  This makes for blisteringly fast screen fills.  The way I figure it, it
shouldn't be too hard to make CON: (or RAW:) do this.  Of course, I may be missing
something.  What do you think?

		Thanks, Ralph Seguin
