This method of printing into the RTTY window is MUCH better than the
scrolling found in the other RTTY program I used. It is a huge difference in
how easy it is to find stuff and click on it.
The scrolling back is an interesting option. I didn't have problems with
about 8 lines or so on the screen, but did find that perhaps the 'next' call
I wanted to work got overwritten by the time we got to it or if I wanted to
correct something in the call I would have to remember it before it got
overwritten. What, maybe 25 lines? Would that be enough?
