Sorry this is not what I want. I'm not sure how to explain it better.
I type less <somefile> in an xterm OR console and less does not
actually write on the xterm/console. In other words when I exit less
what it has printed disappears leaving my screen the same way it was
before I typed less.
Less worked this way in 5.2. What I want to know is how can I get
this behavior back?
TIA
Bob
