Perhaps s/better/platform-appropriate/ ?
I just copied your original patch in setting MORE=-R
(but removed 'S' from LESS).
So v3 will be MORE=FRX, as less was added:
commit 98170c0c3ba86eb1cc975e7848d075bf2abc1ed0
Author: ps <ps@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon May 22 10:00:00 2000 +0000
bmake glue for less.
and more was nuked:
commit cde9059fa3e4dc7e259c3864d7536252a5c580a0
Author: ps <ps@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon May 29 13:31:51 2000 +0000
Nuke more from the repository.
And "git branch -r --contains" on both of those commits says
they showed up in the 5.0 release. However, further
investigation says more was even gone by the 4.1.0 release
git show origin/release/4.1.0:usr.bin/more # non-existent tree
git show origin/release/4.0.0:usr.bin/more # tree still exists
But, "git show origin/release/4.0.0:usr.bin/more/option.c"
reveals more from those days wouldn't handle -R anyways,
and hopefully nobody is still running 4.0.0...

Oops, yes :x
