This fix makes the assumption that all terminals have 24 lines, surely false. Currently the Ann Arbor Ambassador exists with between 18 and 60 lines and the BBN BitGraph has 64 lines. Surely this trend will continue. Therefore, I would prefer to see either of the following two solutions: 1) Find out from termcap (or the new terminfo system) how many lines the terminal in fact has OR 2) After sending something through 'more', have readnews print out a '--Done--' prompt and wait before going on to the next article. Personally I prefer the first solution, but only if one can get the number right \\every// time, not just for articles under 80 lines... Pavel Curtis
