Yeah, our nspeed setup had commands pre-loaded in various buffers, one
useful macro was (this is wired into my brain at a very low level though
I haven't typed the command in 31 years!) ^BB (Control-B B), execute
buffer B, which:

"erased" the screen (might have been 24 LFs)
move edit point back 12 lines
print 24 lines
move edit point fwd 12 lines (back to original point)

eg. centering your work on the screen and showing + and - 12 lines, eg a
screenful.

I assume everyone knows how teco works... ahem
