"more" shows the colors with no problem. In general, I use:
- less
- when there is a long listing which I want to be able to scroll back and
forth, or to search with a / command
- not when there are interspersed ANSI-like escape sequences as in "ls
--color".

You could try "less -R".
Works for me, although a quick look at the man page suggests this might
not work under all circumstances: ".. tries to keep track .."
In any case I have aliased "b" as in "browse" to "less -R -M" and never
had a problem.
Thanks,

Hey, nice! I'm going to alias "less" with "/usr/bin/less -R" in my bash
startup scripts.
Best regards,
Tony.
