But I'm in dire need of some floatation because 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? Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
