Details:

Currently the terminal window in the GUI aligns the text contents with the top
edge of the view.  That sometimes leaves the bottom edge on top of a line
depending upon how the GUI window/app is sized manually.  The result is that
the command line where there is most activity is visually obstructed.

The attached changeset will make the alignment at the bottom.  Basically,
everywhere I saw the top-left corner of the view used directly I changed it to
computing the top indirectly as the bottom minus 2 times the margin minus the
font height times the number of lines.  I had to do some adjusting to find a
good result, but the changeset seems about right.
