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).
