Instead of 'zless ...', you can put "eval $(lesspipe)" in your shell rc
file, and then you can use less on a variety of files without any
special invocation.
Try it at the shell prompt:
$ eval $(lesspipe)
$ less -R /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz
[BTW. less -R solves the ESC char problem]
Read /usr/share/doc/less/LESSOPEN for more details.
