I see stuff like this when I do man rxvt I see stuff like this: .YODLTAGSTART. roffcmd .SH "NAME" .YODLTAGEND. rxvt (ouR XVT) - a VT102 emulator for the X window system.YODLTAGSTART. roffcmd .PP .YODLTAGEND. Setting PAGER does not seem to affect anything for me. Anyhow,when I do alias less="less -R" My ls -l | less problem is solved.
