More on the "more" pager quirk...

Hello all,
Well, I just discovered something else about the "more" pager
problem. It also happens with the less pager and the lynx web browser,
*BUT* can easily be fixed by hitting keypad Enter. I was going through
the Independent Living catalog they sent me on CD today, and did a
search for "BlueAnt" to find my place again, paged down a few times to
listen about the "Accessible Graphing Calculator, and trying to cut and
paste text wasn't working. Hitting keypad plus would read one thing,
but cursoring around to try to cut and paste, showed me entirely
different text. Hitting Ctrl+L to redraw the screen didn't work, but I
tried hitting keypad Enter, and SpeakUP began working correctly again.
Maybe there's a bug in the virtual cursor code? The ILA catalog is a
fairly long text file, being 270836 bytes in size. Maybe it's because
it's larger than the 40000 full_stop setting? I dunno.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know what I'd found, how it
had been corrected, and maybe give you an idea as to what had happened
and it's probable cause/solution. HTH,
Michael
PS: Has anyone mentioned that when typing in a Subject line in mutt,
that the space character isn't spoken?
