Any help is greatly appreciated. > > This is a function of your pager, rather than the "man" program, I Sure, it's not the man program. Moreover, I think it has nothing to do with more or less. These progs merely pass sequences to terminal saying something like "start underlining here" and "end underlining here", same thing with bold. Thats why on cons25 it's different than on vt100, provided that man, more, and less the same. My guess would be browing thru /etc/termcap. If I got no response from you guys, that's probably is the place for me to start ;-) ./danfe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
