Hmm. Seems like a lot of work and I can't say I'd ever use it. I think
screen-like behavior should be enforced as much as possible. As we
move more towards a unix style ala rppager you should be able to write
a helper app that does this.

Doesn't feel natural to my emacs trained fingers :).

Perhaps hold off, and you may be able to maintain them as seperate
utils...but of course I should put code where my mouth is.
