[RHEL 5.5] The less command's help screen is incorrect for the descriptions of some options

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The descriptions of the following options in less --help need updating:
       -n  -N  ....  --line-numbers  --LINE-NUMBERS
                       Don't use line numbers.
       -c  ........  --clear-screen
                       Repaint by clearing rather than scrolling.
    

    The -N and --LINE-NUMBER options actually enable use of line numbers, and the clear screen option should also include -C and --CLEAR-SCREEN.
