I am following the documented > name in the man page. >=20 The "documented" name is an example only, it is not the default -- one still needs to set the LESSOPEN environment variable. The example script from the manpage can't even handle the `-' as the first character in the name. How do you expect people to know that we provide lesspipe.sh and they should set to LESSOPEN=3D/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh to explore it? The answer is to document this (hint: this can easily be done by compile-time adding the FreeBSD-specific section to the otherwise stock vendor file), where you can document the fact that FreeBSD provides /usr/bin/lesspipe (without .sh) suitable for LESSOPEN. In any case, it's not _stupid_, as the default behavior of SCRIPTSNAME of stripping extensions fits 99% of cases, and it was designed bearing this in mind.
