color highlighting with 'more','grep' and 'vi'

Hi all,

i would to find out how can i turn on color hightlighting with the 'more' command.

When i view a big file, i tend to use the 'more' command and i would search for a interested string with the '/' command. Something the search returns more than 1 line found on the screen, how can i enable hightlighting for easier viewing?

i tried to use ':set hlsearch' in vi, hoping that the setting will be persistent in 'more' but it did not seem to work. Would appreciate any suggestion.

	       DXmColorMixWidget cmw,
	       unsigned short *red,
	       unsigned short *green,
	       unsigned short *blue );

PARAMETERS

       The  widget  identifier	of  the  color mixing widget.  A pointer to the returned new color red value.  A pointer to the returned new color

DESCRIPTION

       DXmColorMixGetNewColor  allows  the  calling application or routine to quickly obtain the current color value from the color mixing widget.

       routine instead of the Intrinsic routine XtGetValues.
