Thanks Hal that did it. BTW there is some verbage in the less man page I
quote:
If neither LESSCHARSET nor LESSCHARDEF is set, but your system
supports
the setlocale interface, less will use setlocale to determine the
char
acter set. setlocale is controlled by setting the LANG or
LC_CTYPE
environment variables.
man -k LANG returned nothing that looked applicable so for right now the
export LESSCHARDEF=. works great.
Thanks again,
Bret
