in thread [emacs] perldoc on windows (update)

On some windows systems, I am able to use the gvim editor as a 'pager'. I then have perl-like regexs to search the entire document. When this does not work, I settle for 'more'. Actually, I was hoping that you would mention a better option.

    I can certainly use emacs -nw as a pager, but this is becoming somehow circular now! :)

    BTW: my colleagues had problems installing gvim...

      You can get gvim as a portable app, then you need no installation.

        I'd rather run evil-mode inside emacs :-P
