more


more is a filter that displays the contents of a text file on the
terminal, one screenful at a time.  It normally pauses after each
screenful, and prints --More-- at the bottom of the screen.  more
provides a two-line overlap between screens for continuity.  If more
is reading from a file rather than a pipe, the percentage of
characters displayed so far is also shown.

   world%  more filename

more scrolls up to display one more line in response to a 
character; it displays another screenful in response to a 
character.  

To move backwards in the file one page at a time, type "b".

To search for a keyword in the document, type the "/" key, and 
enter a keyword, followed by a .  more will scroll to the
first occurance of the keyword in the text, if it exists.

To exit from more and return to the world% prompt, type "q" for quit.
