I don't get any color highlighting when I use LESS=R, but as I said in another post, perldoc didn't have highlighting to begin with. Does anyone here get color in the terminal for, say, perldoc CPAN? As it is, I am using man for everything except perldoc -f. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
