A highly edited (both lines contain the entire user environment) ps ewf listing shows something like: ----- man tar \_ /usr/bin/pager -s PWD=/usr/share/man LESS=-Pm\:\$ix8mPm Manual page tar(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%..$ LESSCHARSET=latin1 ----- So it looks like Debian has actually passed the manual page name to less, something that would've been achieved in man rather than less. -- Michael Wardle Adacel Technologies -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
