You can make this your default pager and/or editor by adding the
25
following to your shell startup:

shell file line(s) to add

sh ~/.profile PAGER=/usr/bin/see; export PAGER

EDITOR=/usr/bin/edit; export EDITOR

csh ~/.login setenv PAGER /usr/bin/see

setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/edit
37
(or any of its aliases) will use the given action to process each
38
mime-type/file in turn. Each file is is specified as its mime-type,
39
its encoding (eg. compression), and filename together, separated by
40
colons. If the mime-type is omitted, an attempt to determine the type
41
is made by trying to match the file's extension with those in the
43
files. If the encoding is omitted, it will also be determined from
44
the file's extensions. Currently supported encodings are
48
(.Z). A filename of "-" can be used to mean "standard input", but
53
Both the user's files (~/.mailcap; ~/.mime.types) and the system files
54
(/etc/mailcap; /etc/mime.types) are searched in turn for information.

All options are in the form --<opt>=<value>.

Performs the specified action on the files. Valid actions are
