Hi Chuck and all!

Yes this was a mistory but now that mistory is history!!!  Now making it
work like that on my slackware 7.0/7.1 system!  I think I know what's
happening.  I believe that the .lessrc and .less files are not getting
sourced on login.  Heck they weren't even in root's home directory.  So I
am going to see if I can't get the slack7.1 upgrade package to fix
this.  Heh!  Maybe!
