I see said the blind man.

Yes, less is indeed not more and in this case, more was default, it 
has now become less...as opposed to Hans' signature...no Les no Moore.

I am still gonna need to figure out the terminal settings since the 
up/down arrow, the page up/page down, home/end etc keys don't work in 
emacs. (Learn vi commands is not the appropriate answer here).

Thanks
