Using the more pager

To display a file use the command:

   more filename

This will display the first screenful of the file. The prompt --More--(nn%) is given in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

You can now use one of the following commands:

    space bar   Display next screenful of text.
    <RETURN>    Display next line of text.
    q           Exit from more: this can be done at any time.
    d           Scroll forwards about half a screenful of text.
    b           Skip backwards one screenful of text.
    h           Display a list of commands (help).
