I'm coming to the conclusion that something must be amiss in my set up because with or without -R, less shows black & white content only. This is an extract of my .bashrc: ============================ # /etc/skel/.bashrc: # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/skel/.bashrc,v 1.8 2003/02/28 15:45:35 azarah Exp $ # This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup.
