I'm not sure how to describe this but I'll try by comparing it to vi. When I open vi, do something, and then exit vi it brings me back to the terminal where I can see all of the commands I had previously executed.Is there a way that I can get less to to behave similarly instead of seeing the lines of the file I had just viewed? Preferably a command so that I can decide at the last minute. Thanks,Gregg
Less quit behavior
terminal;less;exit;vi
less -X might be what you're looking for, that's the option to disable preserving and resetting the screenIt could be that you're sending some less options by default. Do you have $LESS defined in your environment?less -+X will reset the option, you could try calling it like that and see if it helps.
