I'm starting to use less finally (on DOS and Unix...it definitely is much better than more)

I've noticed an annonying behavior (which more doesn't have):
	1) when a file doesn't fill the screen, it doesn't just quit -- it leaves you at the more 
prompt.
	2) After you quit, the screen is put back to the old screen -- I want to
see the last output from less on my screen...

I looked at the options and didn't see anything which changes this behavior...
