I use -pq on the menu to allow the user to select where they would like to
'print', I would like screen (using less) as an option.
What I am trying to determine is why, on this system only, less is failing
when used in this fashion. It works fine on other systems, just not on
this one. I could let them use 'Display' but that is limit to 80 chars
across and only moves forward without the ability to terminate until you
get to the end of the display.
