[-- Attachment #1 --] I ran into an "interesting" issue today using the devel/awscli port. aws help generates almost unreadable output using the "standard" shell .profile, etc. The reason is it uses $PAGER or $MANPAGER if it's present, and the skeleton sets: PAGER=more which, using the .rst files that awscli has, just makes the output ESC sequences get printed and not acted upon. I'm wondering if there would be any objections to changing the "standard" skeleton PAGER environment to: PAGER="more -R" so the ESC sequences get passed through to the terminal unmolested and do the right thing.
