The system the less is running on is bsd4.3 unix.
The version number shown by running 'less' is "version 97".

I like 'less' for many reasons.  It scroll back and forth.  It do searches both
ways.  'Less' offer so much more 'More' can offer. :-)

One drawe back tho...  'Less' don't display highlights invoked by ^[[1m series.
'Less' also doesn't display '^[(0   ^[(B' ansi graphics.  As a result, I 
have to stick with more.  Could I be terrible wrong about this?  I hope so.
Please enlighten me.

	p.s.	if you don't know what I was talking about in '^[[1m' and
		'^[(0' and '^[(B'.  I'll try to display them.  Your terminal
		might not be able to display them.

		Here goes ...

		[1m  'This should be in highlight' [0m
		(0  ijklijklaaaa (B

Thanks for any help!!!
