We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Tried this already and it's not doing what is requested. What it actually does is to enter a new line at the top of page. What I need is to scroll the whole text without modifying it.

I'm going to change the title of this question and make it even more specific.

Inserting a new erased line at the end of the scrolling region is scrolling in the world of terminals ("eliminate the top line of displayed data, move all lines of data up the screen one line, and insert a new line at the bottom" -- Auerbach Guide). What you apparently actually want is not.
