Try issuing "set height 0" at the beginning of your script.

Also look into "display" and "commands"; they might help you here.
You can "display" an expression with a function call to access a
diagnostic function inside the inferior program (something that checksums
or prints a lot of your interesting program state).

Hope this helps,
