Here's a handy alias I use for nicer ri output, I just thought I'd
share it with all of you:
alias ri='RI="${RI} -f ansi" LESS="${LESS}-f-R" ri'
Basically it tells ri to spit out ANSI-formatted text and tells less to
not complain about the ANSI escape codes. It still respects any
existing values of $RI and $LESS.
I hope this is useful to someone.

Very sexy, in bash. Can a *nix guru translate that to tcsh?

Theretically:
alias ri='( setenv RI "$RI -f ansi"; setenv LESS "$LESS -f -R"; ri $* )'
However....it doesn't seem to be working right. Maybe you can play with it, and figure it out.
