I remember that I have encountered a similar problem but vice versa. I found out (or ... hmm... I may have patched my man program) that you can set an environment variable.

You can patch the terminfo database but I believe it is more difficult than editing /etc/termcap (which isn't used anymore). > less : > Would it be easy to use the lesspipe.sh ?
