I know for sure (i.e. 95% ;-)) that Messy DOS uses temporary files in this
case...
(so actaully does something like:
   cat fudeba.txt > tmp001
   head -20 tmp001 > tmp002; del tmp001
   tail -10 tmp002 > tmp003; del tmp002
   less tmp003; del tmp003
(DOS might even postpone the deletion of the tmp... files to the end!))
