I've noticed on every Linux box I have here (different versions of Mandrake) that 
using the command LESS to view the contents of a file always drops one line per page.  
This happens via telnet, or even if I'm at the console.  

It appears the status line at the bottom covers up text, and when you hit SPACE for 
the next screen, that line never gets displayed.  I can sort of see it if I use <B> to 
go back, but it's definitely weird.

If you view a file with only one line, you see nothing!

My solution has been to use MORE intead of LESS, but I would think someone would have 
caught this major problem before.  Might I have some config set wrong?
