less is more
Authored by: Willfon on Apr 05, '02 08:45:55AM
more or less...
anyways, here are some environment variables I have set that makes man use less:

PAGER=less
LESS=-seP?f%f .?ltline %lt:byte %bb?s of %s..?e, (END)?x - Next: %x.:?pb, %pb%.. (h gives help)
LESSCHARSET=latin1

But it should be noted that this will make less cat the text man'ed to the last text viewed with less; the buffer is not cleaned.
