Just wondering if there's a reason less (the beta posted to alt.sources recently) doesn't use the MORE environment variable if LESS isn't defined. Isn't its comment line syntax upward-compatible with that of more? This would make it a plug-in replacement for more, so you could even make more just a link to less and not have to deal with that creaky old more any more. -- David J. MacKenzie <djm@wam.umd.edu>
