Note that, now that you have altscreen on, if you're running screen
4.0.3 you may run into that other problem I pointed you at: less
mysteriously displaying an empty screen until you refresh with Ctrl+L.
That's a bug in less, combined with a pseudo-bug in screen. Screen's
issue has been fixed in current sources (and no other terminal would be
particularly likely to trigger less's issue).
