The system the less is running on is bsd4.3 unix. The version number shown by running 'less' is "version 97". I like 'less' for many reasons. It scroll back and forth. It do searches both ways. 'Less' offer so much more 'More' can offer. :-) One drawe back tho... 'Less' don't display highlights invoked by ^[[1m series. 'Less' also doesn't display '^[(0 ^[(B' ansi graphics. As a result, I have to stick with more. Could I be terrible wrong about this? I hope so. Please enlighten me. p.s. if you don't know what I was talking about in '^[[1m' and '^[(0' and '^[(B'. I'll try to display them. Your terminal might not be able to display them. Here goes ... [1m 'This should be in highlight' [0m (0 ijklijklaaaa (B Thanks for any help!!! -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + (*) Maxc1553@ucselx.sdsu.edu (*) Billy - InnerTangent - Human1 +

Before trying to track down your problem any further, I would strongly urge you to get the most recent version of less. It was just posted in alt.sources today or yesterday. And it's version 170, which is *significantly* different from your version. It probably already fixes the problems you are having. -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
