I'm not in a position to test this at the moment, but does this mean our console will now also "fold" paging/editor applications? I hate this feature with a passion on linux and I've unable to find out how to disable it, especially since the few linux machines I manage have no termcap or terminfo database on the places they say they should be. What I mean with folding is: root@www:~# man less Reformatting less(1), please wait... root@www:~# As you can see, no more less(1) manpage (it's not limited to less, vim etc as well). When I change to vt100 terminal, this doesn't occur, hence my worry about the above sentence in combination with $subject. IF this is going to be the default, I would appreciate an rc.conf setting or at least an explanation of what triggers this behavior and how to turn it off in the manpage, as various quests in google have yielded neither information nor solution. -- Mel
