still won't work (xterm won't retain it as a single line if it wasn't
written as a single line, and you can't count on any screen optimization
library to do this).

see comment above (a little surprising for less - but I expect it's doing
some optimization of its own). Also 'screen' does its own optimization,
defeating the single-line selection you're asking for.
