You can get the behaviour you want with less in the eshell, but as a
previous thread on this list discussed there are other areas where
the eshell differs from expected behaviour [1]
I still don't know when one would choose terminal-emulator, would someone
be able to provide an example when terminal-emulator would be required
for a task that term could not do?
Cheers,
Jonathan.
