IMHO, the default value of GRASS_PAGER ought to be $PAGER, if that is set. > My personal preference is if not using 'more' > then use 'cat' or rip out the pager code all together. Some people might actually need the pager, so I wouldn't recommend removeing the code. Those who don't want a pager can always use GRASS_PAGER=cat (as I do). > > Funny thing is that the pager is set correctly at the .grassrc6 file > > but grass ignores it.

We should change the name for 7.x. It isn't an "rc" file in the conventional sense. > Use .grass.bashrc for setting shell enviro variables instead. (or .bashrc) Note that ~/.grass.bashrc only affects the interactive shell which is spawned from Init.sh; it doesn't affect the operation of Init.sh itself. For that, use ~/.bashrc (or similar). It might be worth having a separate rc file which is sourced from the top of Init.sh. Also, on the subject of potential Init.sh changes, I'd suggest getting rid of the $HOME "games" and just setting HISTFILE to put the history file in the mapset directory (AFAICT, that is the primary purpose of the $HOME stuff). -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grassuser mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grassuser
