Nothing different that the one which is provided 'out-of-the-box'. I didn't change it on RHEL, Solaris+ or FreeBSD. Just on AIX, but only to be able to use 'smitty' properly (but that's another story). > I continue to believe that most individuals will expect their screen > output to be restored.

More than the "screen output to be restored" effect, I tend to disagree when this clear the scrollback lines of my terminal when editing something under 'vi' (as for some of my coworkers). But I can understand this is a personal preference, so I (we) will revert to the old behavior, as proposed earlier. -- julien. http://blog.thilelli.net/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
