You will get the same behavior on UN*X.  If the argument to more is a file,
it can seek to the end of the file to find out how long it is.  If more
is getting its input from stdin, it doesn't know how long the input is 
going to be.  I think the number of arguments error is coming from the
type command when you don't give it a file argument.
