Thanks to all those who responded.  The consensus was that this can be
achieved by use of the VT100's ability to have non-scrolling regions
and is enabled by use of the vt100-s-bot or vt100-s-top termcaps.
I have tested sysline with vt100-s-bot and it seems to work, even with
the non-DEC emulations.

Gratefully,
