Even if I put FX into LESS (I have it set normally so it contains R), it still doesn't behave correctly. I compulsively clear my terminal screen whenever I don't need the current contents, but with FX in LESS, `git status` throws the output at the bottom of my terminal, leaving a lot of blank space at the top. This is extremely irritating to me.

hmms... I remember you being a Mac user. I'm on 10.4.11 and with

LESS=iFMRSXW
LESSCHARSET=utf-8

it works as if no pager has been set.

Except that's not true. As I've mentioned before, if I've cleared the terminal, and I run less with FX set, and the output is less than the height of my terminal, all the output ends up at the bottom of my terminal and the rest of the terminal is blank space. It's rather annoying, because it's the exact opposite of how I usually work (I compulsively clear my terminal so I can work at the top of the window instead of the bottom).
