I use most (export PAGER=most) besides more and less. But I have no problems with any of them. Some times I was using export LESSCHARSET=latin1 (even if I need latin2) but wat solved my problem was to set up corectly the locales. man -L de man shows 8bit characters. I use less 358, more 5.19 (Berkeley 6/29/88), and most 4.9.0. I hope this help. Ionel
