- I recently (1) switched to ksh and (2) installed "less" (v 170) from
- jagubox (thanks Jim).
-
- Now I would like "man" to use "less" rather than "more". I tried setting
- PAGER to /usr/local/bin/less, but got scrambled man pages (lots of
- escape characters rather than bolds, etc.). Attempts to fix this by
- setting TERM to vt100 caused a chane in appearance, but not a fix.
-
- Would someone please tell me how to use "less" as the default pager
- for "man"? As always, thanks in advance.
