i'm trying 'xterm-color' and it's working pretty well in most
instances. the most aggravating thing is when exiting LESS or
VIM the screen is cleared. sometimes it's nice to ^Z out and
still have some on-screen reference to refer to as i diddle
around with a grep or locate or find, before hopping back in.
with 'xterm-color' the scren is reset, all text erased.
using 'vt220-color' vim and less don't reset the screen...
and with 'linux' TERM, i get the flashing headers, without
the screen-reset... which FM amd i looking for?
