I am going to fix the following problems with more(1) as my entry dues for asking questions 8-) 1) The h)elp command displays help, but does not wait before redrawing the screen (unless you use the -e option). 2) The -# option does not work (it is documented by man in the synopsis, but not in the body - it is in the usage message). The code has the comment: /* * kludge: more was originally designed to take * a number after a dash. */ this leads me to believe that this option is out-of-date (also it does not follow the standard). My question is: should I fix the -# option or remove it (my vote is to remove it - see below). 3) Use the LINES= environment variable (ala vi(1)) to set the screen height (the Win95 telnet allows you to resize the screen, but I had to 'tic -I' and reset TERM= for any alterations in screen size (yuck!)). I checked the PR database and found no similar comments (I will generate a PR when I have the time to do the fix). Any comments...
