Hi,

Would a patch to bring back the `!' command to less(1) be accepted?  The
commit message for its removal explains that ^Z should be used instead,
but that obviously does not work if less(1) is run from something else
than an interactive shell, for example when reading manual pages from a
vi(1) instance spawned directly by `xterm -e vi' in a window manager or
by `neww vi' in a tmux(1) session.

If not, then at least documentation for this command should be removed
properly (I cannot provide a diff as this file contains raw backspace
characters):

        $ cd /usr/src/usr.bin/less/
        $ printf '99d\nwq\n' | ed - less.hlp

Regards,

kshe
