If we are supposed to use |more rather than leaving the 60's idea of a teletype driver(!!!!!) then why not also have some PROGRAM which recognises ^H,^C,^Z,^S,^Q etc. No silly flames about "You can always say stty raw", because on a resonable tty driver you can say "stty length 0 width 0", or just ^P.
