MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii This has something to do with 15291, 15292. In my .zshrc is the snippet FP='?f%f:.?a :.(?eEND:?pb%pb\%:?abyte :.%bb..)?e?x - Next\: %x:.:.$' LESS="a mPm$FP q X" # Less version 332 let lines=$LINES-2 export LESS="$LESS z$lines" If I then "echo $LESS" I see a mPm?f%f:.?a :.(?eEND:?pb%pb\%:?abyte :.%bb..)?e?x - Next\: %x:.:.$ q X z22.0000000000 I really didn't want that .0000000000 in there; it causes less to complain that there's "no -. option". Why did $lines become float-typed? And can you please make it stop? -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
