Hi everyone,

I'm at a loss trying to figure out what is going on with a function I am
testing.
It has the following read statement which is part of a loop:

for N ({0..255}) {
  read -s -t1 -d $'\a' $'c?\e]4;'${N}$';?\a' && XC+=("$N ${c##*;}")
}

This works just fine in retrieving the hex color codes in both xterm and
xfce4-terminal.

The issue is when the output of my function is piped to less.  The keys do
not respond
correctly.  Where 'space' would normally page the output, or 'q' would quit
less, I now
have to follow the keystroke(space, q, gg ...) with the 'enter' key to have
the action take
place.

Commenting out the read statement and less acts normally from output I
generated
to test with or without the read statement.

I attached the function file with an added '.txt' extension to name(FYI).

Any thoughts on what is happening would be appreciated. The read statement
was
taken from something I found on one of the 'Stack' sites if I remember
correctly.

I guess I could be using the read statement incorrectly, but I don't know
what it
could be.

Thanks in advance, and regards,
