| As a user, I'd like new updates from the MUD server to be inserted at the top of the terminal so that I can keep my eyes looking at the top part of my monitor instead of the bottom part.

| You are considering only the 'line' as the update unit. Assuming some sort of block separator can be identified, then it wouldn't be that garbled.
Obviously, that's the hard part, defining the set of rules to separate the blocks. If that can be expressed, then what's needed from the client is the ability to insert the blocks at the top. | | Top |

Ok, draft the spec and then write a server for it. Then I'll help make a plugin for this, though I don't promise to stop making fun of the idea. Or rotate your monitor 180 degrees and use utf-8 to

| Doesn't TCP present data ordered correctly to the application? If again, you imply by this scenario that the rule could be split by packets, that wouldn't work either.
Another way to think of this would be client side paging. | | Top |

I don't. There is no valid rule without server cooperation, and no server supports this. Write the server first. |

| See here: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9626
That is a plugin that captures "exits" lines and puts them at the top of the window. It only shows one line, but it could be modified to show more, or perhaps one is all you want.
There is also a plugin for capturing chat (multiple lines) and showing them in a window you can put anywhere: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10728
So assuming that you can identify what lines are you are really interested in (and that could be all of them) this would put the most recent ones at the top as requested. Of course, they would scroll off fairly quickly. |

How did you even do that? Manually? Or using some sort of reverse sort? |

rofl. :) Where there's a will, there's a way! (manually. I'm quite proud of the cleverness in the first, last?, three lines.) |
