currently perusing some linux courseware i'll be delivering later

Me neither. They're different commands, and behave differently, here.
Following on from what Tim said, they both function differently for me
too. If you use the two commands on a text file without specifying any
parameters other than the file name, the obvious difference between the
two, apart from the end of screen pause, if that less allows scrolling
backwards and forwards with PgUp and PgDn, more doesn't.
