Um, actually, it is supposed to behave the same.  See more(1).  And
the 'N' command did not exist before Mark Nudleman's less was imported
as more.  Mark Nudleman has since seen the error of his original ways.
I bet we have the only more in existence with 'N' mapped to "next file".
Irix64 more(1) has something even more confusing: 'N' mapped to "toggle
search direction".
