I like the way that the notify app/module is able to scroll the screen. What are the limits of scrolling? Is scrolling possible because the 'graphic buffer' has more 'data space' than the display surface/screen requires for its size? I am a bangle user so answer can apply more to that, but the question is generic. What is the benefits of double buffered mode? Does using scrolling use more ram than not using scrolling?
Secondly, is there any library written to handle line-wrapping text, so that it doesn't go off-screen?

When is 'terminal' mode useful?
