As I originally indicated, I'd changed the setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n from 'LANG="en_US.UTF8"' to 'LANG="C"', to get some things straightened out in screen w/ regards to viewing man pages. I changed to 'LANG="en_US"', and now slrn works fine in MGT, but not in screen in MGT. Still had the funny boxes, so I changed the font over to lucidatypewriter-medium-12, and it now shows 'tq>' and 'mq>' instead of '->'. And to add insult to injury, the man pages now display properly w/ regards to word wrap (the original problem), but paging down now is extremely jerky and takes several seconds per page. > > One other slrn question: on a terminal client w/ a transparent > > background, how do I get slrn to stop showing the solid black > > background and use the background of the terminal? > > You need to use the 'default' keyword.

Gotta love rotating 12-hr shift work ;) I'm about half-tempted to reinstall back to 7.3, as there isn't that much benefit in 8.0 for me (running on older hardware) and see if the problem is there too. For the life of me, I don't remember having these sort of issues before. Monte -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
