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 result-
     ing 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.
