Adding these makes the paca display much longer than 24 lines. I know in
general we don't worry too much about folks on 80x24 green screens, but it's
nice if xmon works OK on those. Or on virtual consoles that don't scroll for
whatever reason.

So I'm going to hold off on this one until we have a way to display some of the
paca. I have an idea for that and will send a patch if it works.

cheers
