:))

Yes, I usually use more for everything, but where that really falls flat
is with man pages, which contain bold/underline markup which cause the
search with more to not find much (it doesn't ignore the markup while
searching).

> Try less -X filename.  It works for me.

> man -X ImageMagick
/usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec gxditview: No such file or directory
man: command exited with status 1024: /usr/bin/zsoelim 
'/usr/share/man/man1/ImageMagick.1' | /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -TX75
Exit 3

Bingo!

Thanks heaps, this has been bugging me for a while. If less was really
worth the rave people make about it, there had to be a way ;))))
