also not a good idea.  :)

something like the "break" code that is slowly making it's way into
the tree.

the wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many to
choose from.  here are three: linux (i believe) uses ctrl with pgup
and pgdn to scroll, which i believe is based on the xterm behavior
(xterms use shift with pgup and pgdn), and freebsd uses scroll lock
with pgup and pgdn.

the linux console way and the freebsd console way are both equally
abhorant to me on this particular laptop, but whichever way is
actually chosen is, at this point, bound to upset of or confuse some
people.  oh well.
