While I was downloading djgpp v2.01, I noticed the new GNU stuff in
the v2gnu/ directory, and downloaded most of it (though I have no idea
what to do with the shell utils). Well, among them was something
called GNU less, so I thought, "ah, coool, finally a real viewer".
But unfortunately, it doesn't work as it should. When I press a key,
the screen scrolls up so the status line makes a mess on the screen,
yet it does not even interpret the key I press either at first, but
instead reverting to line-mode input, where I have to press Enter
before it accepts the command.

So what's wrong with it?
