Okay, I've made the following changes:
* /usr/athena/bin/more now uses ATHENA_MORE in preference to
MORE, but will use MORE if ATHENA_MORE isn't set.
* /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc sets ATHENA_MORE to "-csd" and
MORE to "-cs".
* The /mit/sipb/bin/pmail sources now use /usr/athena/bin/more
under AIX, Ultrix, and NetBSD. I have only rebuilt pmail
for NetBSD, however.
Sal still won't be able to correctly use programs which call
/usr/bin/more directly, since he sets MORE to "-csd" in his dotfiles
(like a number of people). This is roughly equivalent to people
aliasing "ps" to "ps aux"--we can't really do anything about it, and
people shouldn't expect every system's basic utilities to take the
same options. People using the standard dotfiles will have everything
work correctly (and consistently with other platforms), however, and
Sal will be able to use "more" from the command line.
