how do i track down what's different between page-up on one xterm from another? argh!
i'm on my debian/woody workstation running X and gnome, i open up an xterm and ssh into my debian/woody server downstairs. i open another xterm into my debian/woody server across town. downtown, i can browse manpages and use page-up/page-down (with the help of ^V i can see that they send \e[5~ (up) and \e[6~ (down)). downstairs, page-up/down give less (the pager used to view manpages by default on both systems) cause to connipt, with lots of visual bells flying about. (^V shows me that they're \e[5z (up) and \e[6z (down) here.) odder yet -- on the downstairs session, i ssh to the downtown box and the behavior stays as it was downstairs. on the downtown session i ssh back in to downstairs, and page up/down behave the same way they did downtown. how do i figure out what causes the difference in these two xterm sessions? and :) fix it? [ a side question, where does less look for its key mappings? "man lesskey" shows that by default \kU is "back-screen" by default, but how do you tell less that \e[5z is \kU? ] i know about ~/.inputrc but that doesn't affect tcsh -- or does it? maybe it's locale-related... where to look? -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #24 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Curious about DISK PARTITIONING schemes?
