	I have a question about setting the `pager` option.

	I can't seem to use commands built into my $PAGER without Elm
interpreting my input.  For instance, I have my `pager` set to /usr/ucb/more,
which on my system contains several paging commands ("b" to go back
one page, "s" to skip n lines forward).  When I type "s" to skip
forward, Elm thinks I am tring to save the message to a file.

	Is there another pager that will work (EG: `less`) or is this a
problem with Elm itself  ?  

	I'm running ELM 2.3 PL6 on a Sun 3, Sun OS 4.0.3.
