While this may be true, the problem with more in this case was that
it was using TCSETAF, which does flush the tty.  I don't know whether
or not this is "improper".  It doesn't work nicely for me, but it
may be the right thing to do for shl.

It also turned out that SVR4 more resets the tty even if it never
changed it in the first place.

I changed both (TCSETAF becomes TCSETA, and the mode is only reset
if it was changed).  Programs shouldn't mess around with my typeahead.
