more

More is a command used to read text files. For example, we could do this:

   % more poems

The effect of this to let you read the file "poems ". It probably will not fit in one screen, so you need to know how to "turn pages". Here are the basic commands:

  • q --- quit more
  • spacebar --- read next page
  • return key --- read next line
  • b --- go back one page

For still more information, use the command man more.
