- Ugh! I just tried out the screen v3.2 utility from mwcbbs. It's great
- and will offer wonderful functionality for my remote users, but one
- annoyance (there always is one):
-
- The pager less acts really strange under screen. Normally, one would
- press the space bar to continue, or use one of the command keys. But
- instead, the key pressed echoes right after the status line (the current
- cursor position) and is not digested until <ENTER> is pressed. Pressing
- enter to scroll one line, causes the status bar to scroll up, one more
- line is displayed, and a new status bar is drawn.
-
- Ugh. . . I'm a terminfo dunce. Is there a way to circumvent this
- problem, or should I just suggest screen users set the pager to
- 'more' ?
-
- 'nn' and 'elm' pagers work perfectly. Thanks in advance for any info.
