+The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It displays the
+contents
+of a file with the ability to scroll. Less is an improvement on the
+common
+pager called <quote>more</quote>. Less has the ability to scroll
+backwards
+through files as well and it doesn't need to read the entire file when
+it
+starts, which makes it faster when you are reading large files.
