-e Normally, if displaying a single file, more exits as soon as it
reaches end-of-file. The -e option tells more to exit if it reach-
es end-of-file twice without an intervening operation. If the file
is shorter than a single screen more will exit at end-of-file re-
gardless.
Close, but no bannana. In the original case, it was a custom termcap with
ti/te entries that was the bogeyman.
