Hi, I noticed something about less command, at least in my installation.

When I try

Code: [Select]

ls --help | less I get blank screen, like all help options for LS are scrolled up and i cant scroll to see them.

less only works for files or stdin.
It will not work with stderr.
try:
ls --help 2>&1 | less

It redirects stderr to stdout.
