Options are also taken from the environment variable
"LESS". For example, to avoid typing "less -options ..."
each time less is invoked, you might tell csh:
setenv LESS "-options"
or if you use sh:
LESS="-options"; export LESS
So one could simply add the R option to the LESS environment variable to
achieve the same effect.
