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.
