Subject: Prophet rudely overrides $LESS
Prophet::CLI::start_pager sets the LESS key in the environment. This overrides some of my own settings that I've set (specifically, -m -i). I really don't think apps calling $PAGER have any business setting options that specifically correspond to the particular pager the user is using. The user's less may not be your less, and it may not accept the options you've specified. Beyond that, it's just inconsiderate to obliterate the user's settings.

I'm terribly sorry about that. I've just committed what should be a fix for this and will push it when my flight lands ;) Best, Jesse On Wed 18.Aug'10 at 0:30:43 -0400, Chris Nehren via RT wrote: Show quoted text
