[Help-nano] Re: Nano scrolling only refreshes half of the window

[Nick Shaff]

Figures... literally seconds after I throw up my hands and give up I realized 
it's because I changed my terminal to xterm instead of the default xterm-color. 
The reason I did this is a server I SSH into commonly for work has a version of 
nano installed that complains and wont run with xterm-color. Any suggestions as 
to a work around for this that might let them both play nice (preferably with 
my local terminal still set to xterm-color)?
