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,
