Another good fix is the AUTOSCROLL value.
In the OUTPUT (aka LISTING) window drill through the menus
    Edit / Options / Ascroll...
then select the radio button for scroll amount N
and give it value  0  (zero)

Then, to save this setting, with the menus, on the main menu bar select
    Options / Save settings now
You should need to do this only once!

Of course, you may be interested to discover that the commands hidden
behind this menu wandering, is only
    listing; autoscroll 0; wsave         ( using the full commands)

                                         ( or abbreviate that to !!)
    lis; asc 0; wsa
