    I have to say it: less is more.

    More or less.

    No, not more or less. In Tiger, less really *is* more (the latter is a symlink to the former). m.

    On my machine (10.4.6), it's not a symlink, it's a hard link. However,
    they don't behave the same way. Less requires the "q" to finish, while
    more just terminates quietly.

    Less emulates more's behavior when invoked via that name.
