The number may be negative to specify a line relative to the | bottom of the screen: the bottom line on the screen is -1, the | second to the bottom is -2, and so on. . . `----- But it doesn't work with version 418-1 any more: $ less aaa -- OK, $ less -j-6 aaa Invalid line number aaa (press RETURN) -- get the "Invalid line number" error after specifying a negative number for -j. ---- I confirm that the bug is still in version 436 (436-1 in Debian). The bug also happens when the -j option is in the LESS env variable. Yoshio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
