Subject: Re: Emacs interface - how do you get prompt to bottom of frame?

I don't think you guys are listening to Larry's request. It is quite
reasonable to expect the output from a command to fill as much of the
page as possible. Would you want an xterm to put the prompt in the
middle and make the rest of the screen blank after you type "ls" (or has
everyone forgotten how to use command line interfaces?) This isn't
the same as jumping to a place in a file where there is context above
and below the point (though I hate the scrolling to the middle in general
there too - 7 times out of 10 I have to reposition after a search or a
jump to tag). In command output there is NO INFORMATION below the point.
