Unfortunately, Frotz does refresh the entire screen each turn. You can 
use something like https://github.com/danielricks/textplayer around 
dfrotz which will allow you to only read the new stuff. Some assembly 
required depending on what you want to do. I used it to build a plugin 
for a voice assistant a few years ago 
(https://github.com/aaronchantrill/NaomiFrotz).
