In order to change the text of the LESS prompt you need to
be able to specify something in angle-brackets. For example:
set LESS=<--more-->
or
less -P<--more--> myfile
Of course, these don't work because DOS interprets the '<'
as an indicator of input redirection. And double-quoting
doesn't work because DOS doesn't strip them off before passing
arguments to programs or putting values in the environment.
Am I missing any easy way to do this?
If not, might the maintainer of DOS LESS consider teaching
it to ignore double-quotes in its arguments and in the LESS
environment variable?
