I stand corrected.  I wrote what I wrote because I had a vivid mental
picture of that in my mind, but after looking around, I see that no
terminal emulator behaves like that.  I guess I was thinking about
Emacs buffers, where we indeed can scroll forward past the end of the
buffer using the scroll bar.

Sorry.
