Okay, now I think I'm getting the gist of the problem.  I shouldn't
say that Most "scrolls", what it really does is "jump" to the neighboring
screen.  It's instantaneous, but you do sort of have to have at least
a shortterm photographic memory to put the two (or more) screens together.

If it's major use were to be for tables (of course were're talking here
of after the release), I think I personally would like the _jump_ to the
right, as long as there were a check to not break a column of the table.
Speed would be much more desirable than character-by-character "scrolling".

Well since there's nothing there now anyway, I sure can wait for Filip!
