I apologize if this is a FAQ. One of the clever features of the `cygwin' TERM type is that programs like `man' and `more' and others switch to a secondary screen buffer, so that when you exit the program, you get back the original buffer, uncluttered by the program's output.
Unfortunately, this interacts extremely badly with the console history -- all console history is erased as soon as the secondary screen is invoked. Any plans to fix this? This is under W2k if it matters. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
