The VT100 screen only supports 24 lines, unlike a PC. Lines 1–23 are used to
display the text of the file being edited, and line 24 is used as the status bar and
command line (Figure 1-7 on page 1-64). The status bar displays the current file
name, line and column position in the file and the editing mode (overstrike or
insert). When additional command information is required, such as a file name
or search text, then a prompt is displayed in the status bar.
