- The <STRONG>scroll</STRONG> routine scrolls the window up one line. This
- involves moving the lines in the window data structure.
- As an optimization, if the scrolling region of the window
- is the entire screen, the physical screen may be scrolled
- at the same time.

+ ing the lines in the window data structure. As an optimization, if the
+ scrolling region of the window is the entire screen, the <EM>physical</EM>
+ <EM>screen</EM> may be scrolled at the same time.
- For positive <EM>n</EM>, the <STRONG>scrl</STRONG> and <STRONG>wscrl</STRONG> routines scroll the
- window up <EM>n</EM> lines (line <EM>i</EM>+<EM>n</EM> becomes <EM>i</EM>); otherwise scroll
- the window down <EM>n</EM> lines. This involves moving the lines
- in the window character image structure. The current cur-
- sor position is not changed.

- The SVr4 documentation says that the optimization of phys-
- ically 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.
