 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[window]] hold_slider <number>
 +
 +======Description:======
 +Traditionally, when you turned hold mode on in ircII, you used the <enter>
 +key (technically, the [[bind send_line]] keybinding) to "acknowledge" 
 +that you had read everything in the window.  ircII would then scroll a 
 +full window of output before stopping again (and holding any further output). 
 +This means that if you go away for a while, only one windowfull of output ever 
 +appears between your explcit acknowledgements with the <enter> key.
 +
 +Traditionally, when you turned hold mode on in EPIC, the contents of the
 +window were frozen, and the only way to change what was on your display
 +was with the scrollback keybindings. (ie, [[bind scroll_forward]]).  
 +When you turned
 +hold_mode off, you were immediately rushed to the end of everything that
 +had been held while you were in hold mode.
 +
 +In order to reconcile these two very different views of hold_mode, this
 +new operation was created.  The <number> argument specifies how much of 
 +the window's contents should be permitted to scroll off each time you 
 +hit <enter>, at which point the client will begin holding new output.  
 +Each time you hit <enter>, then <number> also controls how much of the 
 +stuff that is being held will be unheld to your window.
 +
 +To get traditional ircII behavior, set this value to 100, which means that
 +a full window of output can scroll off between each time you press <enter>.
 +
 +To get traditional EPIC behavior, set this value to 0, which means that 
 +holding occurs immediately and hitting the <enter> key will not unhold any
 +output being held.
 +
 +======History:======
 +This operation first appeared in EPIC4-1.1.13.
