hack: ' ' vs. '.'

For some reason, hack(6) allows SPACE (the old rogue(6) convention) for
"rest."  This is a horrible choice, as you've probably discovered, because
it's so easy to type SPACE in response to an expected "More" that doesn't
come.

The simplest fix is to one line of do.c.  Instead of

	if (!cmd) {

use

	while (!cmd || ' '==*cmd) {

Space will then be ONLY a response to --More--.
