If you ask eread to display a nonexistent file the pager will give an error and
then eread will ask if you want to delete the file.  This obviously doesn't
make much sense.

Choice? 300000
Missing filename ("less --help" for help)
Delete file? [y/N] 


Reproducible: Always

I didn't use your patch since when you enter an invalid entry $FILE doesn't
contain anything. However, thanks for the bug report and the patch.
