 For positive \fIn\fR, the \fBscrl\fR and \fBwscrl\fR routines scroll the

+.PP
 The SVr4 documentation says that the optimization of physically scrolling
 immediately if the scroll region is the entire screen "is" performed, not
 "may be" performed.
 This implementation deliberately does not guarantee
 that this will occur, to leave open the possibility of smarter
 optimization of multiple scroll actions on the next update.
