The easiest way of disabling the "alternate screen" feature for all
applications which use it (the list of which is not confined to less
(1)) is to set your TERM variable to point to a terminfo entry which
doesn't contain the init strings which toggle it. Try using the
vt100 or vt102 entries ("setenv TERM vt100").

I'm about to drown in documentation (to say nothing of
"terminal" confusion).
The question: On my LAN, when I telnet to a Mac OS X machine
and use "less" to look at a file, when I quit it, the only
remaining data on the screen is the command invoking the
activity. However, when I telnet to a FreeBSD box and do the
same thing, all the scrolled text is left in the terminal
window. Is there (a hopefully simple) means of making the
FreeBSD boxes behave like the Mac OS X boxes?
