My trick was to place a one-line window where the line was to show, then put all the @say and @get commands in it. For the next line, I'd move that window one down, while retaining its image (there was an option for that in the Move Window command), which is accidentally what today's grid also does... it has only one row, which displays at various positions, and its image is kept. Of course, as soon as you click on one of those images, the row jumps into its position and you never know that there's only one.

And I intentionally call it a trick, because it really was tricky, very tricky to do. Specially the scrolling of the window behind when it tries to go below the last line.
