Cho Moon asks how to get more to give screenfuls without
clobbering every 23th line with --More--.

I use (in sh):

	stty rows 0 columns 0
	TERM=dumb
	unset TERMCAP

to get /usr/ucb/more to beep instead of writing --More--.
Since this is a thing I seldom do unless on a dialup, the
loss of terminal capabilities is not important.  It might
be to you.

I'm sitting on a Sun 3/50 running SunOS 3.4EXPORT, utilities
probably from 3.2 or 3.3 at the University of Oslo.

On the Xenix 3.0b I have at work, there is no rows or columns
information in stty; otherwise identical.
