Hi, All, :) "Thank You!" to Sergei and Matthijs who graciously gave suggestions and commiseration about my problem with 'less' not determining the terminal size correctly. Through no fault of my own, the problem seems to have ameliorated itself: running 'less' in a new rxvt instance no longer exhibits the quirky behavior of trying to scroll only 24 lines in a 25-line terminal.
(Note that rxvt is still opening a window that is one row greater than what I ask for. I ask for '-geometry "80x24"' and get 80x25, but that's a niggle.) However, 'less' now seems to be struggling to interpret keystrokes. Specifically <backspace>: when editing a search pattern, instead of erasing the previous character, 'less' inserts "^?". <Ctrl>-<backspace> seems to perform the function of <backspace>, as does <Ctrl>-h. Once again, this behavior didn't crop up until my recent update from 1.3.12 or so to 1.3.15 on Friday. Here is what I believe to be the relevant info about my system. If this isn't clear or complete enough, please let me know!
