Thanks, yeah, I had assumed... once I noticed it worked on PAGER but not on PERLDOC_PAGER that there was some kind of pecking order involved. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

It appears that Alexander P has provided the help needed... adding -r to less switches. I'm logged in at the oi terminal My emulater is /usr/bin/xterm echo $TERM xterm > I would expect you get different results depending on how you connect > (e.g., Putty on Windows versus actual OI console running an xterm). Thanks for the helpful input... yes I should have known to include info about the terminal. Yes, the first two you mention and including ssh from linux running xterm, all work as expected... that is, no control char in perldoc output. It was only logged in at oi terminal running X and xterm, that showed the problem. Now apparently cured by adding -r switch to less. However, it was not the variable PERLDOC_PAGER that did the trick but the variable PAGER is where applying -r to less did the job. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

And that it is true the line above does not help here. However, if I apply your tip to PAGER instead of PERLDOC_PAGER then it clears things right up. PAGER was already set to 'less -ins' . I don't recall now where I got that bit of advice. But changing it to `export "PAGER=less -rins"' has cleared things right up. Apparently the -r makes less display control char as 'raw' control char, and somehow that makes the display work. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
