this is a list of the changes in netbsd less that affect the UI.
(there are about as many changes in LoC for gcc warnings, etc. fixes.)


- * and @ in search commands are ignored
- a 'help prompt' option (-d) is added and default in more(1), set to
  "[Press 'h' for instructions.]" (this is actually from MIT originally,
  i believe.)  it is displayed instead of beeping when unknown commands
  etc are executed
- don't clear the screen or squish it to the bottom, for the first page,
  or when exiting
- sets the -E -m -G -f cli flags
- uses $MORE instead of $LESS for extra options


adding this list in some form to less.1 would be a great idea.
