Except that's not true. As I've mentioned before, if I've cleared the terminal, and I run less with FX set, and the output is less than the height of my terminal, all the output ends up at the bottom of my terminal and the rest of the terminal is blank space. It's rather annoying, because it's the exact opposite of how I usually work (I compulsively clear my terminal so I can work at the top of the window instead of the bottom).
