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. ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP Fingerprint: 11 C8 9D 1C D6 72 87 E6 8C 09 EC 52 44 3F 88 30 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
