Note I get the following with 'c3270 xx'

Looks good..
Expecting the "less" not found message? If so, I will close.
thanks

less not found still here - investigating.

[gngrossi]

Installed the upgrade.

@MikeFultonDev looks like the PAGER environment variable is considered. We could set PAGER here in a similar way as ncurses: https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/lessport/blob/main/buildenv#L60

[MikeFultonDev]

This seems to be working now, but might be because I am using c3270 from my own build. I don't get the error with c3270 xx and if I enter:
c3270
and then type
help all
it uses 'less' for me (although maybe this won't work with a 'real' build.
I'll see if it shows up with this sequence getting a build from Jenkins in which case, I'll use the technique suggested by @IgorTodorovskiIBM

[MikeFultonDev]

Thinking about this more - I am sure it won't work when it gets built with Jenkins. I created PR #18 which should fix this as per @IgorTodorovskiIBM 's suggestion.
