    <p>When I use the <code>less</code> command in my Mac Terminal I'm shown a 23 row slice of the specified file. If I move down the file, then scroll up in the terminal window, I don't see any file content before the current slice. Instead, I see the commands I typed before using <code>less</code>.</p> <p>I would like to use this or a similar effect to create an ascii game interface that shows only the current screen, with no history. I would draw my frames on screen and change only the text or options within those frames. This is very common in older systems that ran mostly or entirely in a command line environment.</p> <p>Is there a Python module that offers this? Is it an effect that I can or should implement myself?</p> <p>Here are some example screen elements that could benefit from this effect.</p> <pre><code>+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog | | dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog | | dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog | | dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog dialog | | dialog dialog dialog dialog. | | | | | | | +--------------------+---------------+------------------------------+ | Attack | South | HP/Max MP/Max | | &gt; Cast Magic | - | Tom: 120/120 60/91 | | Use Item | New | &gt; Dick: 27/133 47/47 | | Tactics | Schwartzton | Harry: 87/104 16/113 | +--------------------+---------------+------------------------------+ </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
