Re: xdebconfigurator output to file

[Louis Woods <louis@swissart.biz>]

Thank you. "less" is exactly the program I was looking for. However, 
when I use the following command:

xdebconfigurator -x | less 

it looks like the content gets loaded into less, but as soon as I use for example the arrow-keys or 'b','f','y' etc. the content disappears and I get a bunch of these:

~
~
~
~
~
~
~

loading a file into less doesn't seem to cause these problems.

Regards,
Louis
