Hmmm ...
$ cd /usr/ports
$ make search key="mswordview"

Damn. it isn't in the ports tree (OpenBSD-current), so I don't want to
fiddle around with it right now, running the risk of trying to make a
linux-centric app compile and run on OpenBSD, something I've had little
luck and lots of work with! :-)
But I know mswordview, and it's the best there is for that thing, BTW,
why don't you pipe the output from mswordview to w3m, links or lynx?
That's what I would do in your place.
It turned out I just needed to loose the '|less' to make it do what I
wanted, and I'm wondering why I piped to less, I seem to remember that I
experimented and found I needed it, but I don't!
Thanks for the pointers and the spellchecking, I've now
s/cupious/copious/'ed it, and it also helped. ;-)
Thanks to the two guys mailing me off-list too.
