I am accustomed to using the /lookat/ port to view text files (such as +CONTENTS.) Multiple times weekly, I use its 's' key to search (a dialog box appears) bin so etc. This side of simple. (Additionally, a nice white-on-blue readability). Never got used to the search keys in "less" etc. So the flat files here serve a purpose I surmise is not that common. And figuring out which category /editors/ etc (the pkg-plist equivalent) is way slower in many cases. A reason to retain that particular usability... til/when I/someone notices a workaround. J.
