yep, that's what I ment to type:), anyhow, it doesn't work flawless on my
hardware, whereas imps2 works like a charm.

that's fine with me, just wanted to make sure we were talking the same
version here.

it's not the chars per line, it's the lines per screen:)
It took me some time to see were the first example ended and the next
started, at first it wasn't even clear that there were two examples!
(the first ended right on the first page, the second started right at
the top of the second page:) And then it was not obvious just were the
two examples differed (having to page up and down losing context sure
didn't help). But when I read Dale's proposal it with clear at first
look. The whole example fitted on a single screen, and as a bonus I
didn't need to compare the two examples line by line to find the one
and only difference, it was very conveniently spelled out for me.
Oh, and thanks for incorporating list knowledge into the debian manual.
