:I am looking for a file scroller similar to less, but with as many of the
:following features as possible:
:
:        (1)     CASE-INSENSITIVE string search

less -i 

:        (2)     Intelligent usage of VT100 (and/or VT220) keys such as:
:                        (i)     Cursor keys for moving around the file
:                        (ii)    PrevScrn (instead of b)
:                        (iii)   NextScrn (instead of space bar)

Sounds like you need to look at lesskey(1).
