Just for info purposes,the problem with less was apparently caused by 
having the instruction :  setterm -powerdown 30 in /etc/profile.i have no idea 
why that statement resulted in the symptoms I had ,but once I removed it 
everything was back to normal.Is there another way to shut off an inactive 
monitor from the command line?
