>Description:
	
If you have a tall terminal, such as an xterm of 45 lines, use 'more' to
view a file, and request help ('h'), then the help file will not remain
displayed. This occurs if the terminal is bigger than the help file.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
See Description.
>Fix:
	
Sloppy workaround (not very satisfying): add junk lines to the help file.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:


On a terminal bigger than more's help file, you don't get time to read it.
