Couldn't you just make mushclient interpret that sequence to scroll the window so all of the output that's received after it is displayed at the top of the screen? is there a way to do this with a plugin?

Certainly you could do that in a plugin. Search for examples using the plugin callback OnPluginPacketReceived.

You would need to use that because control sequences are processed by the client (however not before OnPluginPacketReceived is called).

A simple method would be to search for the string you mention, and then display a dozen or so blank lines. A more complex method would find the number of pixels in the output font height (using GetInfo) and the number of pixels in the output window, and calculate the number of lines you needed.

However I'm not sure it is really a great idea. If the screen clears often (eg. when you change rooms) then the output buffer is going to fill up rather quickly with annoying numbers of blank lines.

Still, you can do it if you want to.

Whoops, didn't notice this was page 2 of an old thread. In that case, my earlier comments apply as well. :)
