I suspect Dennis Ritchie's stackable line disciplines will appear in an official UNIX release some day soon, and this would provide a much better hook for dealing with terminal behavior problems. In the meanwhile, "more"-like programs should run with minimal hacking on UNIX System V. I use one called "pg" that works pretty well, although it is not termcap-based.
