Some time ago, a person observed that more would 'die' in xterms
running from a XDM controlled display.  Well, I'm having that
problem too and can't remember his solution.

But I do know where the problem is in more:

In readch(), the read(2, &ch, 1) is immediately returning
with a result of 0 [implies EOF], but file descriptor 2 is stderr,
and I *know* there isn't an EOF condition there.  [Even used
feof to confirm it].  Obviously, an assumption isn't "true" under
xdm.  Anyone remember the solution to this problem?

        Thanks,

For me "more" works in xterms when I change the terminal line
settings with the command "stty sane".
Now I have the line stty sane in my /etc/login, which is read
whenever an xterm is started with the -ls option. Now "more" works
fine.

Hope this helps,
