The less prompt "line 1-20" can be obtained by using the "-M" option, or by setting $LESS to "M". I don't think LESS or MANPAGER were set on the Debian box. Is it possible that less on Debian knows the name of the file because Debian uses catpages while Red Hat doesn't (if the assumption is correct)? -- Michael Wardle Adacel Technologies -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
