He would have found the       reason at least. I was there, too. Same as I found out how it was done I       would have found 10 years ago.              > https://linuxhandbook.com/search-less-command/ and       > https://linuxopsys.com/less-command-cheat-sheet       > are clearly using other distributions and they claim things work the way       > "man less" documents them.       >       > You identified the       > LESS='-M -I -R'       > line and that is to be the problem.

Thank you.                     You can ask in the mail list and reach the people that did this (unless       they are no longer there or died or something). Or, directly create a       bugzilla asking that the action be reversed.              --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
