This stupid trick works best without \*(AM, since justification is active
on a per window basis.
.jBu
Start \*(We and make COMMAND the last (rightmost) column displayed.
If necessary, use the 'c' \*(CT to display command lines and ensure
that forest view mode is active with the 'V' \*(CT.
Then use the up/down arrow keys to position the display so that some
truncated command lines are shown ('+' in last position).
You may have to resize your xterm to produce truncation.
Lastly, use the 'j' \*(CT to make the COMMAND column right justified.
Now use the right arrow key to reach the COMMAND column.
Continuing with the right arrow key, watch closely the direction
of travel for the command lines being shown.

some lines travel left, while others travel right
eventually all lines will Switcheroo, and move right
