list/display off (interactive command) 1

[arielap]

Using LIST or DISPLAY OFF to check data in a table when working interactively, there is always an empty line at the start of the listing.

How does one avoid the space, so that the listing follows immediately after whatever was printed before the LIST command was given?

We don't have any control over LIST/DISPLAY.

Surely, BROWSE is a better way to check the data in a table when working interactively. It lets you view the whole of the data in a scrollable window, rather than just seeing one screenfull at a time.

Thanks - I did wonder but as one can get rid of the blank in textmerge, I hoped I'd just missed something.

I want the list to echo to a text file as well as just on screen, so browse doesnt do.
