to any who might have used this solution - i discovered a bad side effect

when searching man pages, if you use the "/" operator - the first matching line
is removed, and you are brought to the following line - then if you try to
scroll up - the previous lines are there but not the matching line

subsequent matching lines are shown as expected - this is for my custom terminal
above and any terminal using "xenl" - not sure what a workaround for this is
other than dont use "xenl" and deal with the missing column per the original
issue.
