[comp.unix.questions] No tags file?

What's up when I get error message "No tags file" when trying to use
for example man or elm (mail works OK) on a SVR3 machine?

Never heard of tags...

Are you guys running the 'less' pager there? I remember seeing this 'cause
we got two universes (BSD and that telephone co. sh*t :-) here. The options
flags between sysV and Bezerkeley somehow were different, I think it was
'cause of different rev levels. Do a echo $LESS and see if it has the 't'
option set.
