Okay, you got answers about 'reset' (which is also Ctrl+L I believe), but maybe you really want to do a 'less' instead of 'cat'. less also can show .gz files and the like: in my /etc/profile, I have LESSCHARSET=latin1 export LESSCHARSET LESS=-M export LESS LESSOPEN="|lesspipe %s" export LESSOPEN -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
