NAME
       mless --	conveniently read messages in less(1)

SYNOPSIS
       mless [msg]

DESCRIPTION
       mless  runs less(1) on the output of mshow(1) for the current sequence.
       Display starts with the	current	 message,  or  msg  if	passed.	  (See
       mmsg(7) for the message argument	syntax.)

       When  no	 messages  are	passed	and the	standard input is from a pipe,
       `mseq -S' is called to set the current sequence;	mless is then  run  on
       the  resulting sequence.	 The first "file" of the less instance will be
       the output of mscan(1).	This makes mless convenient for	use at the end
       of a pipeline.

       mless will start	less(1)	and display the	current	message, if  possible.
       Use `:n'	and `:p' to read the next (resp. previous) message.
