 .I  Zless
 is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
 one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.  It is the equivalent of
-setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to "|gzip -cdfq -- %s",
+setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to '|gzip -cdfq -- %s',
+and the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to
+\&'<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\e$%=~',
 and then running
 .IR less .
 However, enough people seem to think that having the
 command
 .I zless
 available is important to be worth providing it.

-Note that zless does not work with files piped to it on stdin, it only works
-with files specified as arguments.  If you really want to use less in a pipe,
-then do the uncompress explicitly and pipe to less instead of zless.

 .I Zless
 does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard
 input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.
+To read compressed data from a pipe, you can use
+.RB ".\|.\|." "|gunzip|less"
+instead of
+.RB ".\|.\|." "|zless" .
