How to *not* restore screen after viewing man pages in X

2002-04-09 Thread Bill Moseley
When I view a man page or run vi or nano from xterm or Konsole and then exit, the screen is restored to the way it was before I started the program. This doesn't happen when not running X. How do I disable this? I like to be able to scroll down in a man page, exit, and leave that text viewable.
