Description
This is similar to the "man" problem that the current "pager" patch addresses. Tweaking env vars can work around the problem at runtime. The suggested permanent solution is to compile perl with -Dpager="/bin/less -isR" added to the configure line. The "R" is what makes the difference.
If testing successful, only use in Ch 6. No point in temporary Ch 5.

Anderson wrote back in saying this was confirmed good for perl 5.8.2
Going to put into book - can always be reverted if necessary
