   In your .login or some other file that has your account wide env varibles,
   e.g. .cshrc or .profile, put the following:

	   For sh or ksh:

		   set pager="/usr/ucb/more -c";export pager
This should be

	PAGER="/usr/ucb/more -c"; export PAGER

	   For csh:

		   setenv PAGER "/usr/ucb/more -c"

And there is actually an easier way to do this.  more examines the
MORE environment variable for options to use.  So you should instead
use in sh/ksh/bash:

	MORE=-c; export MORE

in csh/tcsh:

	setenv MORE -c

This has the added benifit of working with *every* invocation of more,
not only those that go through PAGER.
