Yes, my problems with Epoch seem to center around that.  The size seems
off, and it causes Epoch to start scrolling the page when one ^N's to the
middle of the screen.  ^V causes the thing to scroll only one or two lines,
and when I hit ^L, it turns out not to have moved me at all.

When I executed (epoch::screen-information nil), Epoch reported that the
screen width and height (in character measure according to the 1.6b docs),
were around 460 by 320 or some such.  I assume this is really pixel measure,
though..

(screen-width nil) gave me 80, but the window manager (twm) gave me 76 or
so.  <--(I think.)

Any suggestions, please, please, please?
