In your message you mention scrolling.  Does speakup have a way to scroll 
beyond the current boundries of the screen?

Well, it means just that.  Your conventional screen has only 25 lines
of text that can be read or listened to on any screen at any time.
These other video modes allow for a greater number of lines of text
and columns in some cases.  Same physical screen and monitor and all
that; just more reading area before having to scroll to the next page
or having to scroll sideways to read the extra columns that might be
off to the right some place.  I'm sure these other modes imply higher
screen resolution thus causing the letters to appear smaller visually.
