What were you trying to do?
read stock answers on stuff.
What's wrong:
the stock answer browser doesn't understand my window size (in
particular, it thinks it is longer than it is in reality, so that
whenever it prompts me, the text at the top scrolls). It appears to be
use the default TERMCAP entry rather than the window size from the
kernel.
I am reading answers with 'answers' from within OLC.
my environment is:

What should have happened:
it should use the proper window size.
