Is there a way to make more ignore the alternate screen buffer feature?
I often ctrl-Z out of the files I'm editing and more the original file
to see what I just deleted accidentally, or more a file and use the
scrollbar to go look at what it was.  The alternate screen stuff makes
the scrollbars useless, so even if my screen supports it I want them
disabled at least some of the time.
