I agree.  I use the 'vs' and 've' controls to switch terminal screen pages.
That way, I can use vi and still retain the contents of my screen from
before i started vi.  Unfortunately, while this trick also works with
rogue, when I die, the screen draws the grave stone, spits out the 've'
(which means, at 9600 baud, I miss seeing how much gold I'd accumulated),
says 'Press enter to continue' (or something like that), and then gives
me the score ratings.  I've gotten used to it, but it's kind of hard to
explain to a novice user.  It also means that next time I crank up the
editor, I see this big grave stone on my screen for a second before vi
fills the screen in.
