- It may be, that on your system 'more' is an alias to 'less', or 'more'
- requires some special Options, to show the percentage.

- Evaluate, which command is executed when you're using it from a shell
- (for Korn-Shell use 'alias' to list all aliases). Then change the according
- line in the file $HOME/.elm/elmrc .
