    case c
    when Curses::KEY_DOWN, Curses::KEY_CTRL_N, ?j
      result = scroll_down
    when Curses::KEY_UP, Curses::KEY_CTRL_P, ?k
      result = scroll_up
    when Curses::KEY_NPAGE, ?\s  # white space
      for i in 0..(@screen.maxy - 2)
        if( ! scroll_down )
          if( i == 0 )
            result = false
          end
          break
        end
      end
    when Curses::KEY_PPAGE
      for i in 0..(@screen.maxy - 2)
        if( ! scroll_up )
          if( i == 0 )
            result = false
          end
          break
        end
      end
    when Curses::KEY_LEFT, Curses::KEY_CTRL_T, ?h
      while( scroll_up )
      end
    when Curses::KEY_RIGHT, Curses::KEY_CTRL_B, ?l
      while( scroll_down )
      end
    when ?q
      break
    else
      @screen.setpos(0,0)
      @screen.addstr("[unknown key `#{Curses.keyname(c)}'=#{c}] ")
    end
    if( !result )
      Curses.beep
    end
    @screen.setpos(0,0)
  end
  Curses.close_screen

  # slurp the file
  fp.each_line { |l|
    @data_lines.push(l.chop)
  }
  end
  @top = 0
  @data_lines[0..@screen.maxy-1].each_with_index{|line, idx|
    @screen.setpos(idx, 0)
    @screen.addstr(line)
  }
  @screen.setpos(0,0)
  @screen.refresh
rescue
  raise "cannot open file '#{filename}' for reading"
end

Scroll the display down by one line

 
               # File curses/view2.rb, line 72
def scroll_down
  if( @top + @screen.maxy < @data_lines.length )
    @screen.scrl(1)
    @top += 1
    str = @data_lines[@top + @screen.maxy - 1]
    if( str )
      @screen.setpos(@screen.maxy - 1, 0)

    str = @data_lines[@top]
    if( str )

      @screen.addstr(str)
    end
