When I login to the machines that I admin (using ssh) and use less to 
view a file, it works fine in a text-mode screen. But, when I do this 
from an xterm, and try to scroll up in less, only the top line changes. I 
have to ctrl-L often to update the screen. Very annoying.

Any fix for this little problem? Maybe an xterm switch? DISPLAY variable 
setting? Xterm patch?

Both machines are running FreeBSD 2.1 Release.
