Actually, to be fair of the two standard X based terminal emulators (at least
on Suns)  cmdtool/shelltool doesn't do scrolling and curses at once, while
xterm does. Thats 1 out of 2, or 2 out of 3 if you count jet.

Whats unique about jet is doing drop and drag at the same time as either
curses emulation or scrolling.

It sure was a big a disappointment to me that OW3 didn't bring any real
cmdtool/shelltool enhancements. Given how much time one spends in a terminal
emulator, this is a bad place to cut corners.
