A Shorter Spectrum Scroll

Sometimes I find that I want to scroll the screen just a few lines at a time. On my Spectrum, this can be done with the instruction INPUT AT X,0.

Where X is one greater than the number of clear lines required at the bottom of the screen. As no variable or string is specified in the instruction, the computer does not wait for any input but goes straight on to the rest of the program.
