        No, I can see the problem too. This is my impression of what is
happening. I don't know if VT emulation can do this, but it seemed with the old
news, the terminal would "remember" 17 lines of messages and then move them up
and put one new line at the bottom. Now the new news seems to reprint all 18
lines. It has the same visual effect and speed of typing "down 18" in the old
(or new) news.
        I hope this makes sense. Perhaps scrolling is just plain slower, so I
can see the visual effect of retyping 18 lines. Don't know.
