No. You have to be able to move the cursor to the top of the screen,
at the very least (and it's very *very* slow in that case).

It has optimizations like not redisplaying the whole screen if you're
isearching and the baud rate is low, that sort of thing. (They've
probably bitrotted, but they're still there.)

What we need these days is a stable, fast, anti-aliased root beer
with dynamic shading. Not that you can let just anybody have root.
