Please answer the following questions *separately*: 1) what are the steps to reproduce the problem? 2) what happens when you follow the steps in (1)? 3) what do you want/expect to happen when you follow the steps in (1)? In your previous post you have mixed up the answers with - your guesses as to what the problem is; - what references you consulted; and - your attempts to fix the problem These data get in the way when we're trying to understand what the problem *is* (the first three questions). It's like going to your doctor and saying "I need this leg amputated" (your guess) instead of "my knee make a funny cracking noise when I bend over" (the problem). By all means give your guesses, but do that *after* answering the first three questions. Here's an example of a good report: From Terminal.app in OS X, I ssh to a Debian Etch server and run screen there. In screen if I then run less(1), when I quit less the screen is cleared -- I just get a shell prompt at the top of the screen. I want it to go back to showing the shell output from before I ran less. For example, if I ran "ls -l" before I ran "less", I expect the ls output to be displayed again when I quit less. This problem also happens if I connect to the Debian server from an Ubuntu 8.04 laptop using xterm or gnome-terminal. It also happens if I run "emacs" instead of "less". The problem goes away if I just ssh to the server and run less or emacs straight away (without starting screen), the problem goes away. The problem still happens if I remove my .screenrc on both OS X and on the Debian server. I'm starting a new screen session each time, not using "screen -R" to reconnect to an old one. I looked at the screen manual and the mailing list archive, but I couldn't work out how to fix this. I tried putting "autonuke off" in my .screenrc on the Debian server, but it didn't help.
