Hi,

Could someone shed a light on this ?

When I am using xterm-color I noticed that

1. When you type "man lpr", manual pages for command lpr show up.
That's fine. Then, if I press "Q" (quit), my screen refreshes and all info is
washed away.

2. Similar thing happen when using "Vi". After editing a file, saving and
quitting also means "refreshing" my screen.

On other hand, if I set terminal as VT100, the screen does not refresh.
Is this an option ? Could I keep xterm-color AND not having the screen
refreshed all the time ?

Thanks,

S.
