To view the contents of a text file on the screen, use the
more <filename> command. This program will
display one page at a time on the terminal with a prompt at the
bottom of the screen after each page of text. The prompt tells you
what percentage of the file you have already seen. At the prompt,
type the SPACE-BAR to see the next full page. To see only
the next line, type the RETURN or ENTER key.
To scroll back one page, use the b key. To quit out of
the more program, use the q key. There are lots of other
options to the more program. To see a short listing of
them, type a ? at the more prompt. For example, to see
the first page of a file called recipe.for.lasagna type:
math joe % more recipe.for.lasagna
RECIPE FOR LASAGNA

Mozzarella Cheese
