install command line tool - Version: 1.5, 2/24/2006 02:48AM PST

I use it daily; can't live without it. But the new version has the annoying habit of asking to install the command line tool every time you launch it using Open With. Yes the command line tool is fine, but must we use it every time?
...and, by the way

It would be nice if the developer would add the following: make the app remember window size and location.
Auto-starting AquaLess from Terminal with no funny commands. - Version: 1.5, 2/13/2006 01:48PM PST

First, let's assume you've dl'd AquaLess and installed it in your Applications folder (just a suggestion). Go to where you installed it and double-click the AquaLess icon to startup the application.
If this is your FIRST TIME starting AquaLess, or you've been using a prior version, you'll get a window asking whether you want to install or update/upgrade the Unix executable file "aless." This file will be installed/upgraded in the directory: /usr/bin. You can now quit the AquaLess application.
Navigate to the /private/etc directory and, using your favorite text editor, open the file named "profile." If it doesn't exist, create an empty file with that name (no quotes or period). If you've had to create a brand new "profile" file, put this line at the very top on line one(1): "# System-wide .profile for sh(1)." (No quotes and no period after sh(1).) Hit "return" twice. Now, add this line: MANPAGER="/usr/bin/aless" just as it appears here. Hit "return" twice. Below the 2nd return (or further down the page if other environment variables are already defined) you may find a line that starts with the word "export." (No period.) If the export line already exists, make sure there is a SPACE character after the "t" in export and then add the following word: MANPAGER. (Without the period.) If the export line does not exist, then you'll have to type in the following: "export MANPAGER." (No quotes or period.) You're done. Save the file. You will be asked for your "administrator" password.
Now, in Terminal, merely by typing "man" (and your man ITEM, e.g. "man SystemStarter"), Aqualess will automatically start up and display the man page you just instructed it to.
