You could do a 'setenv MORE -e' in your .cshrc to > get the same effect. I use less, it's one of the ports. -e Normally, if displaying a single file, more exits as soon as it reaches end-of-file. The -e option tells more to exit if it reach- es end-of-file twice without an intervening operation. If the file is shorter than a single screen more will exit at end-of-file re- gardless. Close, but no bannana. In the original case, it was a custom termcap with ti/te entries that was the bogeyman. > Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 041-122-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
