"Paddle" implies that it controls something, that you can use it
to move something.  But the thing we've implemented is just an
indicator: it just shows where in the file the screen contents
are and what portion of the file is being shown on the screen.

"Scrollbar" would indeed be better, but then it would actually
have to work like a scroll bar.  But it doesn't look like ncurses
sends any dragging events.
