If you want color in the man pages then install most and use either of the two methods already suggested to make it your default. I use this in my .bashrc to do it. # Set pager to most for color man pages PAGER=most ; export $PAGER And since you have less installed now you may as well have this in there as well. #Added to let less view .gz doc files eval `lesspipe` Stephen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
