checking - it still works (for me, anyway).  What I did in my change for
lynx last year was to delay return to raw-mode until the first character is
pressed after invoking xli.  But there's no screen-repainting built into
that - pressing ^L does that.  However, the messages come out as expected.
I made a screen dump and put it in

        ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx+xli.gif

to show what the messages look like.
