You're probably using a non-cygwin32 compiled version. I get the same thing
with my native win32 version. Try compiling less or grab some binary
version from somewhere.

Dear Mr. Ku,
you were absolutely right when suggesting to put the command 'export TERM=linux' in the /etc/profile ( or /.bashrc ) file. What I have found, though, is that this alone still does not solve the problem. What I have additionally done is that I created a directory '/etc' and, in that directory, a hard link to the file '/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/etc/termcap'. This solved the problem. Unfortunately, after the TERM variable took the value 'linux', the VIM editor has stopped working properly - it apparently needs TERM to be set to 'ansi'.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Try:
1. setting TERM=linux
2. Installing Sergey's patches.

Did you set the environment variable in the .bashrc ( or .bash-profile ) as
following ?
export TERM=linux

Dear friends,
when I use the 'less' command, I see a message on-screen, that says :
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
and it then proceeds O.K. Also, when it comes to an end, exiting to the command line, it does not erase the bottom line of the screen to its right end, allthough it should, but simply overwrites it with the command line prompt, starting, of course, at the left side of the screen. So, what am I missing ?
