Sorry, it's possible that I didn't understand the problem correctly (a 
code fragment would have helped).

Are you saying that outputting a full 80-column line to the last screen
linhe position scrolls the entire display even if there's no \n in the
text you output?

If so, then this is because both printf and cprintf (and also cputs and 
cputc) always move the cursor past the last written character.  On the 
last line, moving the cursor will scroll the display.

You need to write the characters in a way that doesn't involve moving the 
cursor, like with ScreenUpdateLine or dosmemput.
