Testing out your implementation, the only problems I've noticed so far are
that <Backspace> doesn't scroll the screen backwards and that opening the
help text doesn't reset the scroll amount, cutting off the beginning of the
text. Assuming those are fixed, though, I don't think there's really much
of a difference between our implementations in terms of user experience, so
to be honest, it doesn't much matter to me which one you merge.

As long as the feature gets added, and as long as it works, that's good
enough for me.
