Hi!
If you use PgUp to scroll up, there is no visual indication of any kind
that what you're seeing is not the most recent data.  This notoriously leads
to responding to days old stuff, etc -- especially if you're an inattentive
oaf like me.  Unlike most other programs with such a kind of display,
switching off a window and back to it doesn't scroll you to the bottom;
such a position persistence is likely to make you forget that you've scrolled.

Possible ideas:
 * (like I did in kbtin): the input bar replaced with a line of ^^^^^^^^^
 * (like in zMud): split window with a few lines on the bottom showing what
   is going on
 * an extra indicator on the edge of the status bar


Meow!
