I do have TERM=xterm on the remote machine. What do you use instead? I think the character encoding is part of it, setting LANG=C solves the problem for example.

For example, if I scroll down by more than one line, e.g. using ctrl-f, I get an overlay of the first screen and the new screen. I don’t have this problem using the OS X terminal app, so I’m guessing there’s something fishy with the X11 app? Might be worth checking what TERM is set to on the remote side. I've had few problems using TERM=xterm. (I avoid vi, though.) A different line of thought is that your Mac-local xterm has a different notion of what the character set encoding is than the remote vi does. This would only matter when non-ASCII characters are in view. regards, tom lane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I used to love mathematics for its own sake, and I still do, because it allows for no hypocrisy and no vagueness.... ~Stendhal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Chopp Chair Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics Northwestern University E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: (847)-491-8391 Fax: (847)-491-2178 Homepage: http://people.esam.northwestern.edu/chopp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
