I can't quite decide wether the suggestion that paging be moved to
the hardware was serious or not, but let me just note that this
has already been done! I am typing this on a Z-29 terminal and
it has what Zenith calls "hold-screen mode". When the terminal is
about to scroll off the 24'th line it sends a control-S to the
computer. I can then press "SCROLL" to see one more line, or
shift-SCROLL to see another page. The Z-19 has a similar capabilty
and I believe the VT-100 family has it too.
