Re: Using vim to syntax highlight stdin

I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful, but that doesn't answer my question at all!

My question is about preventing pagination. I'd like to use Vim syntax highlighting to highlight my program output but I do NOT want to Vim to paginate the output.

Is there any way to configure Vim's less.sh script NOT to paginate it's output?

Thanks,

Scott. :)
