freebsd has adopted "less" as the system pager since 4.0 series. it requires that you enter ":p" and ":n" for "previous" and "next" file ... this is very cumbersome, esp if you got more than a few files open ... IMHO this should be modified to allow :P :N as well. it is a real pain to to all this SHIFT-COLON UNSHIFT-p / SHIFT-COLON UNSHIFT-n stuff just to go to the prev/next file. i would at least like to keep the shift key down. better yet - it would be nice to assign one lowercase letter to those functions ... ??? they are too common and the need for speed and efficiency exists in such cases for those functions to be encumbered by multiple quircky keystrokes. thank you.
