Terminal trouble
In another thread in which I was seeking a better way to handle
unicode in my terminals (my current preference mrxvt does not support
it) rxvt-unicode was suggested as a possible alternative. However,
now I am dealing with an even more aggravating situation, and that is
the alternate screen where the entire screen is cleared after closing
things like man or less. I cannot put into words how much I hate this
"feature" and would love to find a way to turn it off. I have googled
and found nothing which worked. I would assume that other Debian
users are faced with this, since it seems the default in all the
terminals, and I would very much appreciate any ideas of how others
get it to stop.
Many thanks in advance,
Patrick
