Many thanks :)
If I understood you correctly, you put
WriteLn(MoreProcess.Output.Size);
inside the waiting loop and it printeda nonzero value. I did
the same, but it said zero. Hmmm..... I tried actually read-
ing the output inside the loop and the Read() function
blocked, as expected when there's nothing to read.

My hypothesis is that the more.com process is blocked at
reading standard output, which it doesn't seem to get for
some reason. This problem persists with any application
expecting standard input, including my own test app.
My next step will be to rewrite my original program, that
uses plain WinAPI, in C and see what it yields.
