Really? It's not hamm since I am running an up to date unstable
system and I have the same behavior that Tomihisa describes. Are you
doing anything unusual in your .bashrc?
This situation should be figured out and either fixed (so that the
arrow keys work with ``less -X'') or a work-around put on the
auto-faq.
