 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.
