I recently reformatted my TiBook and reinstalled everything from the system up. After installing Apple's version of XWindows and the XWindows version of R 1.7.0, I ran the two and got a strange warning:

-----

Type `q()' to quit R.

> help("lm")
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
-  (press RETURN)
-----

The main functional disabilities I've noticed after I press return are more or less cosmetic -- the arrow keys don't scroll, for example; rather, they produce ugly characters on the screen -- but are nevertheless annoying. Moreover, I don't get this message in a regular terminal window when I use the "man" command; there, the viewer works exactly as it should.

Has anyone else encountered this, and does anyone have a fix?


Thanks, -Bear
