- When you open an hpterm with scrollbars, the default position for the bar
- and prompt is at the top of the window. As you enter lines of text they
- flow down the window, and the scrollbar follows. This is fine until
- you use the scrollbar to look at previous lines, then try to return to the
- current prompt. You then have to manually position the scrollbar at just the
- right spot. (This is tough with lots of savelines.) So...How do you change
- the window so that moving the scrollbar to the bottom always
- moves you to the current prompt (without filling the buffer with linefeeds
- of course!)? (I realize I can type SHIFT-Home for this
- purpose, but I want to just "bottom-out" the scrollbar.)
