Hi,
	If you do a "!ls" shell escape command on a Next machine, it goes into
a loop and the entire machine (all windows) become very slow until the job is
killed.
	Does anyone have the fix for this bug.
	Is there a GNU/public-domain version of less/more that I can easily 
install on a NeXT.
	Thanks,
	Erach

	As you know:
1. You cannot set the EDITOR environment variable and hope that will influence
the choice of editor in more.  So you use less which has this capability.

You can easily compile and install less1.77 from the gnu archives.
It works fine on the NeXT.
