And thank you, too, Trevor!

I just had another interesting path discovery today, after Nick's EMX
build of ssh kept complaining that it couldn't find my terminal setup.
In that case, UNIXROOT was really confusing it (I know that it *used* to
work right), and since it is EMX and not gcc and doesn;t seem to
understand the kLibc path rewriters - or symlinks - , I actually had to
move my %ETC%/ssh directory (C:\MPTN\ETC\ssh) to %UNIXROOT%/etc/ssh
(J:\etc\ssh) to satisfy its curiosity.

BTW, I just checked, and neither ansi nor ansi-color-3 seems to work for
this build of less. I'll need to poke around a bit mor eto find out
where it's getting lost looking for terminfo.

Cheers/2
