How do you reverse terminal command line to the top?
Hi All,
I work on a Linux platform which runs Red Hat (forget which version) and use both korn and bash shells. Is there a way of making the command line appear at the top of the terminal window and any lists, commands or directory names etc to appear below the top, that is to say reverse the scrolling direction in a terminal?

I get a sore neck, which is exacerbated by having the command line always on the bottom and would be relieved if the place I most look at, i.e. the command line, were at the top.

Any pointers would be great, thanks for your time,
ray_m
