I can't find > it in .bashrc .bash_profile .zshrc and friends. There's also /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/profile, etc. I don't know what's normal in the mac world. You can try running: bash -ix 2>&1 </dev/null | grep LESS to see what your startup code is doing. I don't know of a good way to correlate that with the source files, though. Or even to ask bash which startup files it's looking in. -Peff
