No, I stand corrected -- I've had an alias for more to less for so long, I'd
forgotten it was there.  So then, I guess on MY Linux box, "more is less".

But you're quite right about there being two different binaries.  Thanks for
the reminder!

However -- the only point I SHOULD have made was that, like less, more also
takes the "v" command to edit the file currently being viewed, which would
explain the "strange" behaviour when getting that "VT102" terminal reply...
