Description

More is used to show the contents of a file, one screen at a time. Any type of file can be displayed, but ASCII (TXT) and script (CMD) files will produce the only meaningful results. For example,

more login

displays the contents of your login script. More than one file can be shown by giving more a file list, such as:

more mailrc resume login

When at the — More (xx%) — prompt, the following commands are available (i denotes a number):

i SPACE

Display another screenful, or i more lines if i is specified.

i RETURN

i ^D
