From less(1) man page:

       -X or --no-init
              Disables sending  the  termcap  initialization  and
              deinitialization  strings to the terminal.  This is
              sometimes desirable if the deinitialization  string
              does   something  unnecessary,  like  clearing  the
              screen.

I have:

	export LESS=-X

in my .bashrc.

Hopefully you now have no reason to use "more" instead of "less"!

Regards,
David
