Given that just about all of what we display and print is fixed-width
text, is there any reason not to

	1) rename "hexdump" to something more generic

and

	2) use it to print *all* the text that comes from the summary
	   (for "File/Print"), detail, or hex windows (so that it
	   correctly handles page boundaries)

as well as using it for the "follow stream" data?
