Well, from Mr. Manpage:

: OPTIONS
: ...
:      -e   Normally the only way to exit less is via the "q" com-
:           mand.  The -e option tells less to automatically exit
:          the second time it reaches end-of-file.
:
:     -E   The -E flag causes less to exit the first time it
:          reaches end-of-file.

You can also set the environment variable "LESS" to contain "-E" and
any other options which will be used every time you envoke less.
Enjoy.
