You don't say the OS, but you may be seeing the effects of less working on a terminal with a seperate interactive screen (for example xterm). What's happening is that when less exits, it switches back to the main screen, thus hiding what you were just looking at. From reading the manpage, setting the pager to "less -X" should solve this problem.
