    Actually I had the opposite problem: a program starts 'more' in
    a terminal window to show content of a file. Now, when the file
    fits into a single screen 'more' immediately quits and the
    termianal window vanishes. That works with 'less', but recent
    Linux distributions seem to skip 'less', so only 'more' may
    be available.

    My boss keeps telling me to do more with less.
