This is a minor problem but I use "more" to read Email messages from nmh. If one forgets what screen one is in, it is possible to start typing and create a log file of the message in which ever mailbox directory one is reading out of. The man page for more is actually linked to less even though FreeBSD has /usr/bin/more and less. I even tried in the .mh_profile to call more with -Oo/dev/null but if you hit a key, the "logfile" prompt appears and any subsequent key strokes are part of the new file name. This really is only a minor nuisance because it creates junk files that then have to be removed from the directory. So, if there is a way to make more or less not write anything, it would be more or less appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
