While working on table'ized output (eg. tables outputted by `psql'
(PostgreSQL command line client) etc. we noticed that it would be
useful to be able to "fix" the first /n/ lines of an input file, while
all following lines could scroll as usual.

That way, you'd keep your table headers visible while scrolling in the
data set. Would be nice to have such a feature implemented (maybe
forward this feature request upstream?)

Thanks a lot, JBG
