After waiting maturely while you mean people :-) ingnored Mr. Banks' question (or perhaps e-mailed him), I'm here to say that "less"'s man page, [less can be gotten from comp.sources.unix archives, e.g., on uunet.uu.net], says: p Go to a position N percent into the file. N should be between 0 and 100. (This is possible if standard input is being read, but only if less has already read to the end of the file. It is always fast, but not always useful.) % Same as p. -- Dan_Jacobson@ATT.COM Naperville IL USA +1 708 979 6364
