The LINES and COLUMNS variables are an *override* to applications. It is not an application's primary method of getting the size of the screen. Therefore they should not be exported by default. These should only be exported when the user wants to force a specific behavior. (e.g. COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l) Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
