- This is a repost of a message I posted about 8 weeks
- ago. No one responded. *Ugh*. Is what I am requesting
- within the scope of what Emacs can do?
-
- ***
- I am running an application interactively through Emacs
- on a vt100-like terminal. On occasion I invoke an
- instruction (or a command) which produces several
- hundred lines of output. Unfortunately, waiting
- for the output to scroll by is a time consumming ordeal
- since Emacs does not directly print out the output, but
- instead prints til reaching the minibuffer, provides a few
- blank lines, prints til reaching the minibuffer, provides
- a few blank lines, etc. To speed things up I would like some
- code to put into my .emacs file making Emacs print until
- reaching the minibuffer, clear the screen, print to the mini-
- buffer, clear the screen, etc. Also, I want to do this
- without resetting the scroll-step variable since I
- frequently go back through my session to edit old commands
- and I hate having to look around for the point. (Keeping
- scroll-step set to four does this for me.) Does
- anyone know of something which I might find helpful?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Emmett.
