This is a repost of a message I posted about 8 weeks ago. No one responded. *Ugh*. Is what I am requesting within the scope of what Emacs can do? *** I am running an application interactively through Emacs on a vt100-like terminal. On occasion I invoke an instruction (or a command) which produces several hundred lines of output. Unfortunately, waiting for the output to scroll by is a time consumming ordeal since Emacs does not directly print out the output, but instead prints til reaching the minibuffer, provides a few blank lines, prints til reaching the minibuffer, provides a few blank lines, etc. To speed things up I would like some code to put into my .emacs file making Emacs print until reaching the minibuffer, clear the screen, print to the mini- buffer, clear the screen, etc. Also, I want to do this without resetting the scroll-step variable since I frequently go back through my session to edit old commands and I hate having to look around for the point. (Keeping scroll-step set to four does this for me.) Does anyone know of something which I might find helpful? Thanks, Emmett.
