Clearly, no. The author correctly noticed the difference in the set TERM env var. However, his conclusion seems rather brain dead. Instead of simply setting the variable, he keeps the value and messes with his terminal definitions. Doh! As an experiment. try this: Fire up a gnome-terminal. Then do... $ export TERM=xterm $ man man Same behavior, the displayed contents of the pager will not be kept on the screen. As expected, actually, as xterm is the one TERM has been set to before. Now... $ export TERM=linux $ man man Aha! The very behavior that was desired. Without messing around and invalidating term definitions. Nice. Now, how do we get this by default? Easy one. Add a line like the above, setting the TERM env var, to your ~/.bashrc. Done. BTW, some of the added comments seem to suggest this to be working, too... guenther -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
