FWIW, I ran this for 2+ months here and I'm finally getting used to
'N' not being the same as ':n'.  However, I'm sure I'm not the only
person who routinely pressed 'N' expecting it to work like in vi, only
to get either an error or booted to the next file.  I'm convinced the
change should be made.

The magic incantation to return 'N' to its normal function is:

$ echo "macro 1 N 'file next \${number}'" > ~/.morerc
$

Eventually a map command needs to be added so that simple changes
like this are less likely to require obscure programmer syntax.
