Re: getting less to show the man page name

[Al Sparks <data345 yahoo com>]

I'm not near a RH box at the moment, so I can't look at it myself.  But what
I'd try is hitting "h" at the prompt, and see what configuration files less uses
(could it be called $HOME/.lessrc?).  If you find something like that, try copying
it from your debian to your RH box.
