In practice they seem to be defined both ways in different TERMCAP and
TERMINFO databases. The latest version of browse has been updated to work
with sf/sr that only work on the top/bottom lines.
I have another question. Most termcaps have been set up so that 'cs' to
change the scrolling region takes the top line # first. Someone sent in
a set of changes to browse that implied that for xterm windows on a SS1
the reverse is true (bottom line # first). Which is it?
