I don't understand: what line did it scroll?

We cannot do anything about cockpit errors.  A user who doesn't pay 
attention could simply hit [Enter] several times (something people do 
when they are nervous that their program crashed) and move the crash 
message out of sight entirely.

I'd like to cater to those users who don't do that.

I didn't say there was no place, just that we should minimize any 
unnecessary output and try not to use an extra screen line.
