A work-around would be to construct a shell program that evaluated to
"less -c" and pass the name of that program in MANOPT. An alias won't
always be expanded where you want it to be - it depends on how
the program executes a command line - it has the option to not use the
shell to do that at all.
By chance, does man evaluate the $PAGER variable? I don't have man working
at the moment on my own system due to an ELF library conflict.
Thanks
