I don't feel like using recent snapshots on my Pentium 133MHz Win95
box because of slowness of the scroll speed.

ScrollSonsoleScreenBuffer() become very slow on Win9x after it is
called several times repeatedly. So if a scroll region isn't set,
fhandler_console::write_normal() should output '\n' instead of
calling scroll_screen() like past snapshots.
