First, you may need to exit the less program with q.
Second, don't forget to close(LESS).
Third, try executing system("stty sane") after that.

    Or use the -e switch with less.

      That's what I love about this forum. You can always learn something new just by reading other's replies. I often set my mysql pager (/P) to /usr/bin/less so that I can scroll through large result sets. Using it with the -e switch makes this even more useful.

      Cheers,
      Darren :)
