  SET SCROLL JUMP

  Causes new text to be repainted in your window instead of scrolled into
  your window.

  Usage notes:

  o  The opposite setting (SET SCROLL SMOOTH) repaints each new text a line
     as it is brought into your window.

  o  SET SCROLL JUMP causes scrolling operations to first scroll the text
     that will remain in your window, leaving part of your window empty. The
     operation finishes by displaying the new text in the empty region in a
     single repaint operation. This makes for slightly faster scrolling than
     with SET SCROLL SMOOTH (which is the default) because only part of your
     window is scrolled.

  o  You can set scrolling behavior to jump or smooth regardless of your
     terminal scrolling mode being set to Jump Scroll or Smooth Scroll. For
     example, if you set your terminal to Smooth Scroll and use SET SCROLL
     JUMP, text slides smoothly out of the window (the effect of the
     terminal setting), and new text is repainted in one operation (the
     effect of SET SCROLL JUMP).

  o  This setting has no effect if you use SET SCROLL OFF.

  o  The setting applies in all your buffers. To save your setting for
     future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file
     or to create or update a command file (see help on Attributes).

  o  On DECwindows, you can toggle this setting as follows:

        1.  Choose Global Attributes from the Options menu.
        2.  Click M1 on the Set Scroll Jump button in the dialog box.
