"export LESS=X", or "less -X", read man page why.

I vaguely recall reading something about that. I tried it. It does the opposite of what I want to do, making the Mac output work like the FreeBSD, rather than the other way around. The FreeBSD version of "less" is behaving like it does the -X option by default (hmm...). On 5/31/06 8:41 PM -1000, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote:

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.
