Apparently `more' is the default man page viewer since this is a brandnew install and I'v made almost no changes yet. I don't see any problems when using more like: `more file' or dmesg|more > > What exactly do you mean by "seemingly random highlighting" and is > this in an xterm or the console. If it's the latter it is because By random I mean I see no pattern to what is being highlighted. In console mode ( I don't have X setup yet) and with stock new install env settings. (echo $TERM cons25) Examples: (Using "*" to indicate highlights) man vi shows: VI(1) VI(1) NAME ex, vi, view - text editors SYNOPSIS ex [-eFGRrSsv] [-c *cmd*] [-t *tag*] [-w *size*] [file ...] vi [-eFGlRrSv] [-c *cmd*] [-t *tag*] [-w *size*] [file ...] view [-eFGRrSv] [-c *cmd*] [-t *tag*] [-w *size*] [file ...] [NOTE -ed some of the stuff in brackets but not all] Lots more through out the page. man emacs: EMACS(1) EMACS(1) NAME emacs - GNU project Emacs SYNOPSIS emacs [ *command-line* *switches* ] [ *files* *...* ] DESCRIPTION *GNU* *Emacs* is a version of *Emacs*, written by the author of the original (PDP-10) *Emacs*, Richard Stallman.

Sounds like it is, but not sure why underlining would occur in such a random way either. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
