Scrolling my console is annoying. I'd rather not see empty unused space in the wall of text. My perl has 22 "Compile-time options", switching 9 current lines to 22 lines will add half a screenful of text to my console (13 lines). The "Compile-time options" indent wastes screen space too.Thread Previous | Thread Next
