M-x term strange behaviour.

[Francis Moreau]

Hello,

I'm using "M-x term"  to get a shell inside emacs.

But it seems to not working as expected: for example when starting less(1),
inspecting a file (I know I could have used emacs for that) and exiting, the
terminal window is not restored as it was before starting less(1). Instead the
content of the file visited by less(1) still appears.

Of course this behaviour does not occur when using less(1) inside an xterm.

Can anybody give me some advices here ?

Should I use a different terminal (M-x terminal-emulator...) ?

Thanks
