I am talking about reading system documentation and I disagree (system doc is
not some obscure feature). But I don't want to polemic on that issue, see next
point.

I take this point and accept it.

I suppose at it will be enough to use the script I joined in my precedent
message. To do some simplification can maybe be a good thing but is not a
necessity. (it can even have non wanted side effect if a given distribution
already provide its own wrapper.).

What will be best, to provide it modified or not in the addons directory and
let the user decide, or install it in $prefix/bin with a name such as
fvwm-crystal.less-wrapper in order that it doesn't collide with an already
existing wrapper?

Thank's for the tip.

I will modify this menu to use $PAGER. But I have no idea if it will just work
with other distributions and other programs. If not, an user will not
necessarily be happy to have to shift to another pager program in order to get
it to work.

Ciao,
