[BRLTTY] Braille tables versus contraction tables.

If you're saying there would be no way to have lines continued from one 
braille string to another as now, that's anathema. I must have a 
non-intrusive way to know that, using a 40-character display for example, 
cell 1 of the second string on a line is precisely column 41 on that line. 
This is the whole point of panning with fixed windows.

Or am I missing something?
