blind typing reset usually fixes that for me.
hmms... I remember the less program used to warn people if a file to
be listed was a binary, so you could avoid the accidental messing of
the text screen. then when ELF was added it 'forgot' to do that. could
the less program be 'fixed' to recognise ELF as well as a.out binaries
to return to the earlier behaviour?
