I'm interested in making the pager 'less', when used within mush,
behave just as it does when I use it from the shell.  The options I
use are -MCqse.

For some reason less is not able to report the file size and line
number within mush--unless I go to the end of the message; then I get
the line number and percentage wherever I go in the message.  
Is this due to less' inability to read the end-of-message as
end-of-file?

Thank you.
