   IF you are using tcsh (I don't know how any other shells do this) the
problem surely is in tcsh, as it uses the scroll regions of a vt100-terminal.
I had the same problem and have solved it with a little script that sends the
'set scroll-region' command to the terminal like this:
------8<----cut,cut-----
stty rows 29 cols 80
echo -n "<ESC>[1;29r"
clear
------8<----cut,cut-----
where <ESC> is the escape character, which sets the display to 29 lines,
just substitute 29 for 35 on the first two lines and it will work for you.
