- more - display a text file one page at a time
-
- Usage: more textfile
- or: more < textfile
- or: program | more
-
- More shows you 24 lines of the text file, then prompts you
- to hit the spacebar before showing you the next 24 lines.
- This is handy for looking at the output of programs which produce
- pages and pages of output too quickly to follow.
-
- This version of more has the following advantages over the version included
- with MS-DOS:
- 1) It uses an efficient method of writing output lines to the MS-DOS console,
- which results in much faster display when a good console driver like
- NANSI.SYS has been loaded in CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 2) It lets you scroll by a single line or half a screen if desired;
- hitting ENTER scrolls a single line, hitting 'd' scrolls 12 lines.
-
- At the bottom of each page, it shows the prompt
- More (cr, sp, ?)
- Hitting ? or h displays the following help message:
- More understands these keystrokes:
- q: quit
- h: help (prints this message)
- d: down half screen
- space: down full screen
- ENTER: down one line.
