i should have mentioned that too. In less or any other program from that 
matter, they don't understand the pageup or pagedown keys or delete, they do 
understand the arrow keys so that isn't a problem. In x though, all the keys 
work correctly in the terminal window (probably since x uses a different 
keyboard driver, and the terminal is an emulated terminal). Any suggestions 
to fixing this?
