Hi Alexis of the flexible beast,

lol

Right. Support for that form of man page specification is unique to man-db man, as far as I know. Colin Watson would be the authority here.

Ah okay.

* i've been trialing using most(1) instead of less(1), and the
 function doesn't work with the former.

Sounds like it doesn't attempt to support even the relatively small number of command-line options specified for more(1) by the POSIX
standard.

Maybe doing so is not part of its mission, or the program simply needs
further development.

*nod* - Well, at this point, i've just returned to using less(1). Not least because i hadn't got around to manually configuring vi keybindings for movement:

and almost 30 years of muscle memory was making usage awkward. :-)

(i'm not on Arch, btw ;-) - i just link to Arch's manpage collection as a result of my experiments for the Gentoo wiki finding that their collection seemed to have the best coverage.)


Alexis.
