[GRASS5] Arrow keys and default pager

Hallo,
I had the same thoughts a couple of days before. A possible solution
would be:

Replacing the lines 
---
	# Set some environment variables if they are not set
	if [ ! "$PAGER" ] ; then
    		PAGER=more
    		export PAGER
	fi
---
with
---
	# Set some environment variables if they are not set
	if [ ! "$PAGER" ] ; then
		lesspath=`which less 2> /dev/null`
		if [ -x "$lesspath" ] ; then
			PAGER=less
		else
    			PAGER=more
    		fi
    		export PAGER
	fi
---
in file grass5/etc/Init.sh (About line 61). Works fine for me.
