Hi-
This has been annoying me for a while, so...if I page something with 'more'
(as found in my 2.1.0-950928-SNAP system and 2.0.5-RELEASE too, I think) with
my $TERM set to "xterm", it just runs past the end of the file without waiting
for a prompt or anything. Is there any way to get it to ALWAYS prompt at EOF
(even for files smaller than one screen in length)?
Or, if that's not possible, how do I tweak my termcap/terminfo
entries to disable the screen contents save/restore? Running past the end of
file without a prompt wouldn't be so bad if it didn't immediately restore the
previous screen contents on exit. I usually hate it when programs do that
(e.g. vi, less and FreeBSD more).
Ahhh...time to go home for a LONG weekend...!!!
