When instead of adding lines to the bottom, new lines are added on top of and replace existing lines. I prefer the scrollable terminal behaviour to the teletype behaviour of Emacs when running the Linux(?) monitor program 'top', but being a fuddy duddy I prefer the teletype behaviour of Emacs for 'man'. From an error message from 'info', it seems that the Emacs buffer is classified as a 'dumb' terminal. Richard.
