Navigation Tricks

** NAVTRIX.VTF
**
** What:     Full screen visual comparison of multiple open files, with
**           combined scrolling and switching at the press of an F-key.
**
** To start: Two or more files open, ONE onscreen at a time, no windowing.
**
** Notes:    Scrolling of each file will of course stop when its bottom or
**           top is reached, but switching will go on for as long as you tap
**           the F-keys.
**
** Caution:  If too many files are open and spinning up, down, on and off the
**           screen, your head might spin too. Don't say we didn't warn you.
