Hello Alex, I tried as you asked, but unfortunately it did not make any noticeable difference. Running under byobu/tmux: $ echo $TERM screen-256color $ TERM=screen-256color-bce less file.foo <output from less is unchanged from before> Running under bash without byobu: $ echo $TERM xterm-256color $ less file.foo <output from less looks normal> Just to try, I did the following under byobu: $ TERM=xterm-256color less file.foo Now the output from less looks proper, but this caused other unintended problems. For example, my home/end keys no longer functioned so I could not easily jump to the beginning/end of the file I was viewing. I'm sure there are likely other consequences to trying this, but this was the first I (quickly) ran across. -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
