Does :help xterm-screens address your need? How about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1684567 or http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/why-does-vim-clear-the-screen-on-exit-711012/ from the first page of google hits for "vim clear screen"? Actually, the very first link YOU gave us tells you a method to fix it. Did it not work? What happened when you tried it? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
