Nope. Same as unix. This will not only destroy the contents of nob.txt, but it will confuse the user for a few seconds... Because more accepts input from the terminal if you don't feed it anything...

You wait a minute, think, 'this is taking a damned long time to load,' eventually you hit a key, and feel dumb. :) > Sorry to intrude, but I just didn't want to see some poor new person trash > all his files trying to look at them. > Sandy (sw...@atl.hp.com) -- _ __/| Chris Koeberle \`O.o' koe...@utdallas.edu =(_ _)= these stacks they keep me down... so i build some more U america's just a word but i use it... -- Fugazi
