Hi Chuck and all! Yes this was a mistory but now that mistory is history!!! Now making it work like that on my slackware 7.0/7.1 system! I think I know what's happening. I believe that the .lessrc and .less files are not getting sourced on login. Heck they weren't even in root's home directory. So I am going to see if I can't get the slack7.1 upgrade package to fix this. Heh! Maybe!
