I think I've got a solution to this.  I've put a second set of buttons
beyond the long ones (I would have put eight, but I'm not sure how to make
L-shaped buttons).  These jump roughly one screen at a time.  I've used up
very little additional screen space, so I think this might work well. 
I've also redesigned the argument passing so that it can be called
repeatedly without leaking memory.
