I'm trying to set up some restricted accounts on my NCR Tower/450 running
SysV.2 (NCR version 2.01.00).

When I try to use /usr/bin/mailx, I get the following message:
          sh: /usr/ucb/more: restricted
whenever I try to read a letter longer than 20 lines or so.

I'm assuming this is because mailx is trying to use more and can't, because
rsh doesn't allow execution of programs with paths using '/'.  I've looked 
through the documentation and can't see anything of any help.  Putting
/usr/ucb in the PATH for the restricted user doesn't help.

Other than going to /bin/mail, the only other mail program I have, are there 
any solutions to this problem?
