OK, I see this:

  ** .pp
  ** When \fIunset\fP, the bottom entry of menus will never scroll up past
  ** the bottom of the screen, unless there are less entries than lines.
  ** When \fIset\fP, the bottom entry may move off the bottom.

But frankly, that doesn't make much sense to me -- I have to invert
teh way I think of screen activity -- and ending the variable name in
a preposition feels odd to me.  Maybe I'm reacting from the sense that
when I started my new cvs mutt and got the menu_move_off=no behavior, I
was irritated as hell with seeing my menu scroll and just wanted it off,
now.  And hey, there's a variable that makes menu move off! :)
