- * The background ucode paints behind itself.
+ * Narration: what the agent is doing, as opposed to what it has to say.
  *
- * A terminal's own background is whatever the person set it to years ago:
- * white, solarized, a photograph. The interface was drawn for a dark one, and
- * on a light terminal the dim greys it relies on turn to near-invisible smoke.
- * So ucode paints its own ground for as long as it is running, and the
- * alternate screen gives it back untouched on exit.
- *
- * Two things are needed, not one. Painting each row covers the rows ucode
- * draws; it cannot reach the margin a terminal keeps below the last line or
- * beside the last column, which stays the old colour and shows as a border of
- * the wrong shade. So the terminal is also told, once, what its own background
- * is — and told to put it back on the way out.
