So that means: o all users who like the current more(1) behavior have to define and override PAGER. o all users who like the less(1) behavior remove their override of PAGER Or leave things alone, and users who want less(1) behavior override PAGER, which they've probably already done if it's that annoying to them. The answer seems pretty simple to me. -- DE
