Hello,

Solaris 10 (SPARC), running JDS, I run xterm but, when I use man
command, for example, I can't see the text across the wide terminal,
it's limit to 80 columns.

My default shell is bash, I use the a wide resolution (exploting xvr
1000 capabilities), and the command: export COLUMNS=100 doesn't
help. I don't know if I have to deal with tic or termcap files, I was
not lucky changing (the behavoir of the) pager neither.

Any workaround ?

Thanks,
