The recently posted less version 97 differs from its predecessor (I have
version 73) in the way it handles the "v" (edit file) command.

Less v73 would only give to +linenumber argument to the editor if the
editor was vi or ex, but v97 gives it anyway, and in the case of (the
admittedly brain damaged) microemacs (v3.9e) the command "emacs +l f"
edits two files, +l and f, and only starts the display screen with +l
open.

Does anyone have a fix for this? (or know what file I should hack
through?) Thanks-
