This is a function of your pager, rather than the "man" program, I believe. Searching more's manpage for "colou?r" shows nothing, and less' manpage says the --color option is for MS-DOS only. If you're using another pager, check it's documentation, if you're currently using more or less you may have to find another pager (or write something yourself). -- Ben Smithurst | PGP: 0x99392F7D ben@scientia.demon.co.uk | key available from keyservers and | ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
