Make a lot of sense ... on the face of it. Oddly enough, that's
one of the things I fumbled my way to looking at ... and they

I vaguely recall reading something about that. I tried it. It
does the opposite of what I want to do, making the Mac output

FreeBSD version of "less" is behaving like it does the -X
option by default (hmm...).

Tried it anyway. It seemed to solve the inverse problem.
