Re: less problem

["Andrew Patrzalek" <apatrza1 at rochester dot rr dot com>]

On a related note, in /etc/man.conf if I use PAGER=less -irs it will
interpret the escape sequences correctly for the man pages. If I alias
more='less -irs' I can get the neat colors for commands like ls -l | more
 using dircolors ). The less manpage warns about using the 'r' command line
switch. Has anyone had problems with it?
    With emacs however if I execute the internal shell I can't seem to
correct the prompt escape sequence. I just use another window to get around
it. It would be nice to do everything in emacs if I could though.
