Blech. : :I agree with (1), but (2) and (3) should be options. If you've :keeping track of output in an xterm scroll buffer clearing the :screen will lose some output. And sometimes an overview of the :changes is good so you can tell whether it's worth going through :them interactively or just accepting/denying them all. (3) is easy, the 'v'iew diff again option would simply display the whole thing. Only the initial view would be truncated. (2) A solution would be to generate a screen's worth of empty lines before clearing the screen so everything that was there before stays in the scrollbackbuffer. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
