It's readily tunable, by setenv'ing LESS variable to contain some of:

       -e or --quit-at-eof
              Causes  less to automatically exit the second time it reaches 
end-of-file.  By default,
              the only way to exit less is via the "q" command.

       -E or --QUIT-AT-EOF
              Causes less to automatically exit the first time it reaches 
end-of-file.

       -K or --quit-on-intr
              Causes less to exit immediately when an interrupt  character  
(usually  ^C)  is  typed.
              Normally, an interrupt character causes less to stop whatever it 
is doing and return to
              its command prompt.  Note that use of this option makes it 
impossible to return to  the
              command prompt from the "F" command.

While we return folks to the regularly scheduled debate on fancier .cshrc 
setup, I think I'd be happier with some of these changes showing up as 
examples, and having people try them out and look for any unexpected side 
effects before adopting them wholesale into the default system-wide dot.cshrc 
template...
