[mcclim-devel] No scrolling in interactor pane

I've been playing around a bit over the last few days and have kind of
hooked up maxima with mcclim, basically cargo-culting the listener app.
The basic interaction works, and the computed expressions are
displayed correctly. (Some random screenshots can be found at
http://common-lisp.net/~rtoy. In particular, maxima-repl-boxed.png
shows what the subexpressions should be.)
In this case, the output is computed as a string by maxima, and that is
printed to the mcclim's *standard-output*.
However, to be able to present subexpressions (eventually), I changed
the way output is done. I use maxima's capabilities of drawing to a
terminal with cursor positioning and thus set the stream-cursor-position
as needed.
This also works. Until I reach the bottom of the interactor pane. The
pane never scrolls down and the prompt keeps getting overwritten.
I'm obviously missing something, but I don't know what.
Anyone have some hints for this clim newbie?

P.S. A current very hackish version of the code is available at
common-lisp.net/~rtoy/maxima-repl-2005-07-02.lisp.
