I am not sure why it is important for you to refresh the screen
on a zero length file? The screen is empty to begin with.
Anyway, just to let you know that either r, ^R, or ^L works for
me to refresh the screen, even on a zero byte size file (or at
least my screen flutters when I use any of the 3 screen refresh
keys so I suppose it is being refreshed!)
I am using less-3.3.2 also but on a Debian system, kernel 2.2.13
(glibc/libc6).
Don't know if this helps you or not.
