>Description:
A patch is below to give a better description for less.
(By the way, some English dictionaries don't have a "s" on backwards;
I don't care if s/backwards/backward/ .)

-       Less  is  a  program similar to more (1), but which allows
-       backward movement in the file as well as forward movement.
-       Also,  less  does  not  have to read the entire input file
-       before starting, so with large input files  it  starts  up
-       faster  than  text editors like vi (1).
+Less  is  a pager program more advanced than more(1). Its features
+include backwards movement, searching and highlighting, multiple files,
+bold and underlining, key bindings (using lesskey(1)), customized tab
+stops, filters for different file types, custom character sets, line
+numbering, custom prompts, and more.

+This package also includes the lessecho command which can expand
+metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames.
