I recently (Saturday) installed a Paradise 16 Plus video board in
my '386 box and hooked it up to a Sony 1302.  Ever since my floppy
drive doesn't correctly work under VPix - I get the "retry, ignore
or abort" error message - yet if I exit VPix and access the floppy
using doscpy everything works fine.  What is going on?  OS is '386
2.3.2..

I am running Cshell in SCO Xenix.  There are a couple of IDs that 
I wish to add a 'more' to the output.  Default for vt100 is
22 lines on a 24 line screen.  I would like to at times
default a 'more' output to say 10 lines.  

setenv more -10    inside the .login didn't do it (and tried 
                   variations of the setenv to no avail).

How can I set the enviornment inside .login (or .cshrc) to
'more' all output to 10 lines?


Tx in advance,  david hughes

From the xenix user's manual (more(c)) page.
...
More looks in the environment variable MORE to preset any flags 
desired.  For example, if you prefer to view files using the -c mode
of operation, the shell command "MORE=-c" in the .profile file
causes all invocations of more to use this mode.
...
So from your .login/.cshrc do the following

setenv MORE "-c"

Try "alias more more -10" it works in Xenix Sys V release 2.2.3. I tried it
at the command line only, but should work inside the .login script.
