This is what's known (at least in Unix) as "reading from standard
input" when no filename is given.

The program was paginating the standard input -- the keyboard.
Terminate the file by typing the EOF character (often Ctrl-D on
Unix systems). You might then see some "(END)" message at which
point you can probably "Q" to quit.

This feature is useful for things like

   program | myless

Where the "program" generates a lot of output but you don't
want to put the stuff in prog.log first and then "myless prog.log"
