Hello all.
Just run into the following issue with zmore/zless:
if you have PAGER envvar set, it's no matter whatever
you'll call, zmore or zless - it'll always run $PAGER.
The problem is that I have PAGER=/usr/bin/more but
sometimes I want to use less. If I run "less foo",
I get what I requested; if I run "zless foo", I got
what zless thinks it knows better of.
Sure, I can add alias for zmore/zless but is there
any point in using PAGER in those scripts at all?
Why not to just call "less" for "zless" and "more"
in other cases?
