This is not Microsoft here. Edit /usr/share/misc/termcap. Change the following entry: xterm|xterm-color|X11 terminal emulator:\ :ti=\E[?47h:te=\E[?47l:tc=xterm-xfree86: Don't forget to execute "cap_mkdb termcap". No need to get over with a poor workaround.

Re: Switch to alternate screen buffer
In a terminal window I oftenly pipe some progams output to vim or to less: $ someprg | vim - When the program fails and outputs an error message to stderr this will be overwritten by Vim. I know from some old Linux installations that Less and Vim are able to switch to an alternate screen buffer. They use the escape sequences "\e[?1049h" and "\e[?1049l" to switch back respectively. How can I activate this in FreeBSD? no idea but do someprg 2>&1|vim - ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
