I was about to provide that information when this happened:
22:59 [admar at marbase:~/Downloads] $ which -a more
alias more='/usr/bin/less -mFX'
/bin/more
23:00 [admar at marbase:~/Downloads] $ alias | grep more
alias am='alias | more'
alias em='env | more'
alias fm='f | more'
alias hm='history | more'
alias lsmm='lsmod | more'
alias more='/usr/bin/less -mFX'
23:00 [admar at marbase:~/Downloads] $ more
Missing filename ("less --help" for help)
23:00 [admar at marbase:~/Downloads] $ /bin/more
Usage:
more [options] <file>...
A file perusal filter for CRT viewing.
Options:
-d display help instead of ringing bell
-f count logical rather than screen lines
-l suppress pause after form feed
-c do not scroll, display text and clean line ends
-p do not scroll, clean screen and display text
-s squeeze multiple blank lines into one
-u suppress underlining
-<number> the number of lines per screenful
+<number> display file beginning from line number
+/<string> display file beginning from search string match
-V display version information and exit
For more details see more(1).
23:00 [admar at marbase:~/Downloads] $
Whatever happened during the day today (while I as at work) seems to
have alleviated the problem.
I never had an alias for 'more' before, but I like the way this one
works. I always just used the more command as is, and I don't know
what I did last night, but it was a mess that seems to be completely
cleared up now.
Thank you all for the pointers - they were most helpful for my
education, and hopefully others.
Cheers!
