FWIW, 'less -R' should do better than plain 'less'. But still, this is an annoying problem I know no standard solution for; IMO there really should exist a utility to strip such ANSI control sequences. The best I've found so far is a small program by James Carlson, see the usenet thread "VT100 to text utility" at [1]. Hmm, Joey, do you think something like this would qualify for moreutils?
