What! You mean you don't always have emacs running anyway?
Come on - after all, emacs IS the kitchen sink. Forget about wandering
around in some boring shell like bash, tcsh, csh etc and typing cd, ls
and less/more - just use dired, eshell and friends.
Actually, on a serious note, if you do maintain an emacs session (I
start mine at boot and only close it down when I turn-off/reboot -
about 2-4 times a year), you should be able to setup the emacs server
or gnuserv and a fake "more/less" so that the file is sent to emacs
and you can do your paging there.
Of course, probably the easiest solution is to use the lesskey program
which allows you to define the key bindings for less and set them to
mimic emacs key bindings.
