>Description:
	When 'more' is used but output is not to a terminal, it
should behave like 'cat', but it outputs escape sequences.  I often
do some pipe producing output with |more (or |less), and sometimes
when continuing the pipeline or redirecting to file, I skip deleting
the extra |more, and this used to work just as well (a small performance
penalty, of course).

>How-To-Repeat:
	
leon:/tmp:(331)$ diff -ru /usr/src/etc/mtree/special /etc/mtree/special | more > file
leon:/tmp:(332)$ tail -2 file | od -c
0000000        .   .  \t   #   v   a   r   /   s   p   o   o   l  \n 033
0000020    [   2   4   ;   1   H 033   [   K            

Note the extra escape sequence.  It also does it if piping directly, like
diff -ru /usr/src/etc/mtree/special /etc/mtree/special | more | tail -2 file | od -c
