 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.
