[RAID: kills bugs dead] Backspacing and highlighting may be very clever, but not all of us enjoy it. Karl Kleinpaste's test lines looked something like this on my screen: >Test lines: >_^HT_^Hh_^He_^Hs_^He _^Ht_^Hh_^Hr_^He_^He _^Hl_^Hi_^Hn_^He_^Hs _^Ha_^Hr_^He _\ >^He_^Hn_^Ht_^Hi_^Hr_^He_^Hl_^Hy _^Hh_^Hi_^Hg_^Hh_^Hl_^Hi_^Hg_^Hh_^Ht_^He_^Hd\ >_^H. _^HI_^Hf _^Hy_^Ho_^Hu _^Hd_^Ho _^Hn_^Ho_^Ht _^Hs_^He_^He _^Ht_^Hh_^He_^H\ >m _^Ha_^Hs _^Hb_^He_^Hi_^Hn_^Hg >_^Hh_^Hi_^Hg_^Hh_^Hl_^Hi_^Hg_^Hh_^Ht_^He_^Hd_^H, _^H(_^H1_^H) _^Hy_^Ho_^Hu_\ >^Hr _^Hn_^He_^Hw_^Hs _^Hs_^Ho_^Hf_^Ht_^Hw_^Ha_^Hr_^He _^H[_^Ho_^Hr _^Hp_^He_\ >^Hr_^Hh_^Ha_^Hp_^Hs _^Hm_^Ho_^Hr_^He_^H(_^H1_^H)_^H] _^Hd_^Ho_^He_^Hs _^Hn_\ >^Ho_^Ht _^Hs_^Hu_^Hp_^Hp_^Ho_^Hr_^Ht >_^Hi_^Ht_^H, _^Ho_^Hr _^H(_^H2_^H) _^Hy_^Ho_^Hu_^Hr _^Ht_^He_^Hr_^Hm_^Hc_^Ha_\ >^Hp _^Hd_^He_^Hs_^Hc_^Hr_^Hi_^Hp_^Ht_^Hi_^Ho_^Hn _^Hc_^Ho_^Hn_^Ht_^Ha_^Hi_^Hn\ >_^Hs _^Hn_^Ho _^Hu_^Hs_^H/_^Hu_^He _^Hf_^Hi_^He_^Hl_^Hd_^Hs_^H. I vote "Nay" to this idea. I use EMACS to read the news, and there isn't anything you can say to EMACS to make it recognize this kind of terminal control. I don't imagine that those who use hardcopy or slow terminals are much impressed either. ----- Marc Majka - UBC Laboratory for Computational Vision

(eg, PAGER="sed -e 's/_^H//'") Certainly those with slow terminals can do this; does emacs allow you to pipe files to it? -- Gordon A.

Surely you mean:
PAGER="sed -e 's/_^H//g'"
