Or we just make sure that the screen isn't cleared before that last
list-display done by menu-selection, just as we do while
menu-selection is active.

Yes, I know, not a really nice solution, but it's such a sweet little
patch: the first hunk of the patch below, the rest is for the changed
cursor-wrap-around suggested by Bart, which seemed even more sensible
after thinking about it. The only irritating effect is that moving
left when at the top-left match wraps you around to the bottom-right
match. Is that how pine works?
