Indeed, why do you need less when Emacs can scroll and search the output
for you?  (I set PAGER to cat in my .emacs_ksh file.)

The OP may want to run the command from a *Shell* buffer because of its
context (current directory, environment variables, etc.).

If I know a command is going to generate a lot of output, I may narrow
the *Shell* buffer before running it so that moving to the top of the
buffer takes me to the beginning of the output (actually, the prompt and
the command itself).
