I just test it in FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p5

It works well when I change PAGER=3Dmore to PAGER=3Dless before man(1).

And I found more(1) and less(1) is the same thing(they have the same =
inode number laying in fs), may be just different command name, =
different behavior.

If it is emulating more(1) behavior by less(1), why not just replace =
default PAGER=3Dless ?
