In the previous discussion I advocated actually modifying and filling the buffer text to achieve Kim's layout improvements, instead of using display property hacks to do it. This would allow better layout, and eliminate some weird side-effects of using display properties (such as funny cursor movement). In the context of that discussion, I think you're right, there was no mention was made of ttys. The `tty problem' is even more incentive to do it though... -Miles -- Saa, shall we dance?
