Synopsis: set scroll [on|off|toggle] Description: When turned on, the client will scroll text in a continuous, flowing fashion. Old messages are progressively moved to the top of the screen (and off of it) as new text is added to the bottom. When turned off, the client will overwrite old text with new text, screen by screen. This is primarily aimed at users with extremely dumb terminals (or terminal emulations) that cannot handle simple scrolling. Typical behavior of such terminals includes repeated overwriting of the last line in the display, instead of scrolling the text upward. It is also useful for users on extremely slow links (such as old 2400 bps modems), as it tends to be a bit quicker. See Also: set(4) scroll_lines, scrollback, scrollback_ratio
