- Hi,
- Can someone tell me on how to keep the window data (ie. whatever the
- window was displaying. (eg: ls, output from programs, etc ...)) after ending
- a vi, less or more session? I am not sure if this was dealt in the FAQ, if so
- please forgive for my reduntdant question and point to me where it is found.
-
- Currently when I quit out of my editing or paging session my window data
- prior to the starting of the session is not restored but leaves displaying
- the file I had edited/paged. I was able to achieve what I wanted under
- Openwindows for X and regular Sunview environment however under DeskSet
- for Sunview (ie. OpenWindows port for SunView (I guess ?)) I can't do the
- same. I looked for any escape sequences that might be involed but in vain.
-
- I will summarize your replies to the net so, kindly send your replies or flames
- by E-mail directly to me.
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
