System name: minor
Type and version: CVAXSTAR 7.4H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: SM
(This happens with 1.7EXL as well as with 1.6.)
What were you trying to do?
type ``next'' in discuss when there were no more
transactions to read in the meeting
What's wrong:
discuss invokes the pager with empty input, and
then prints the error message saying that there are
no more transactions. This is not obvious if your
pager is ``more'' but if you set the PAGER
environment variable to ``less'' (in the watchmaker locker)
you'll see the problem.
What should have happened:
If there are no more transactions to be read, discuss should
simply print the message, and not invoke the pager.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
discuss(1)
