In general, when you're in a *shell* buffer, you can't use any
full-screen applications. The shell buffer is not emulating a video
terminal, it's more like a dumb hardcopy terminal.
One thing that will help alot is to set $PAGER to "cat" when you're in a
shell buffer. Put the following in your .cshrc:
if ( $?EMACS ) setenv PAGER cat
This should avoid most unintentional use of "more" or "less".
