           _M_o_r_e is a filter which allows examination of a continuous
           text one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.  It
           normally pauses after each screenful, printing --More-- at
           the bottom of the screen.  If the user then types a carriage
           return, one more line is displayed.  If the user presses the
           keyboard space-bar, another screenful is displayed.  Other
           possibilities are enumerated later.

           The command line options are:

           -_n   An integer which is the size (in lines) of the window
                which _m_o_r_e will use instead of the default.

           ----cccc   _M_o_r_e will draw each page by beginning at the top of the
                screen and erasing each line just before it draws on
                it.  This avoids scrolling the screen, making it easier
                to read while _m_o_r_e is writing.  This option will be
                ignored if the terminal does not have the ability to
                clear to the end of a line.

           ----dddd   _M_o_r_e will prompt the user with the message "Hit space
                to continue, Rubout to abort" at the end of each
                screenful.  This is useful if _m_o_r_e is being used as a
                filter in some setting, such as a class, where many
                users may be unsophisticated.

           ----ffff   This causes _m_o_r_e to count logical, rather than screen
                lines.  That is, long lines are not folded.  This
                option is recommended if _n_r_o_f_f output is being piped
                through _u_l, since the latter may generate escape
                sequences.  These escape sequences contain characters
                which would ordinarily occupy screen positions, but
                which do not print when they are sent to the terminal
                as part of an escape sequence.  Thus _m_o_r_e may think
                that lines are longer than they actually are, and fold
                lines erroneously.

           ----llll   Do not treat ^L (form feed) specially.  If this option
                is not given, _m_o_r_e will pause after any line that
                contains a ^L, as if the end of a screenful had been
                reached.  Also, if a file begins with a form feed, the
                screen will be cleared before the file is printed.

           ----ssss   Squeeze multiple blank lines from the output, producing
                only one blank line.  Especially helpful when viewing
                _n_r_o_f_f output, this option maximizes the useful
                information present on the screen.

           ----uuuu   Normally, _m_o_r_e will handle underlining such as produced
                by _n_r_o_f_f in a manner appropriate to the particular
                terminal:  if the terminal can perform underlining or
                has a stand-out mode, _m_o_r_e will output appropriate
                escape sequences to enable underlining or stand-out
                mode for underlined information in the source file.
                The -_u option suppresses this processing.

           ++++_l_i_n_e_n_u_m_b_e_r
                Start up at _l_i_n_e_n_u_m_b_e_r.

           ++++////_p_a_t_t_e_r_n
                Start up two lines before the line containing the
                regular expression _p_a_t_t_e_r_n.

           If the program is invoked as _p_a_g_e, then the screen is
           cleared before each screenful is printed (but only if a full
           screenful is being printed), and _k - 1 rather than _k - 2
           lines are printed in each screenful, where _k is the number
           of lines the terminal can display.

           _M_o_r_e looks in the file /_e_t_c/_t_e_r_m_c_a_p to determine terminal
           characteristics, and to determine the default window size.
           On a terminal capable of displaying 24 lines, the default
           window size is 22 lines.

           _M_o_r_e looks in the environment variable _M_O_R_E to pre-set any
           flags desired.  For example, if you prefer to view files
           using the -_c mode of operation, the _c_s_h command _s_e_t_e_n_v _M_O_R_E
           -_c or the _s_h command sequence _M_O_R_E='-_c' ; _e_x_p_o_r_t _M_O_R_E would
           cause all invocations of _m_o_r_e , including invocations by
           programs such as _m_a_n and _m_s_g_s , to use this mode.  Normally,
           the user will place the command sequence which sets up the
           _M_O_R_E environment variable in the ._c_s_h_r_c or ._p_r_o_f_i_l_e file.

           If _m_o_r_e is reading from a file, rather than a pipe, then a
           percentage is displayed along with the --More-- prompt.
           This gives the fraction of the file (in characters, not
           lines) that has been read so far.

           Other sequences which may be typed when _m_o_r_e pauses, and
           their effects, are as follows (_i is an optional integer
           argument, defaulting to 1) :

           _i<space>
                display _i more lines, (or another screenful if no
                argument is given)

           ^D   display 11 more lines (a ``scroll'').  If _i is given,
                then the scroll size is set to _i.

           d    same as ^D (control-D)

           _iz   same as typing a space except that _i, if present,
                becomes the new window size.

           _is   skip _i lines and print a screenful of lines

           _if   skip _i screenfuls and print a screenful of lines

           q or Q
                Exit from _m_o_r_e.

           =    Display the current line number.

           v    Start up the editor _v_i at the current line.

           h    Help command; give a description of all the _m_o_r_e
                commands.

           _i/expr
                search for the _i-th occurrence of the regular
                expression _e_x_p_r.  If there are less than _i occurrences
                of _e_x_p_r, and the input is a file (rather than a pipe),
                then the position in the file remains unchanged.
                Otherwise, a screenful is displayed, starting two lines
                before the place where the expression was found.  The
                user's erase and kill characters may be used to edit
                the regular expression.  Erasing back past the first
                column cancels the search command.

           _in   search for the _i-th occurrence of the last regular
                expression entered.

           '    (single quote) Go to the point from which the last
                search started.  If no search has been performed in the
                current file, this command goes back to the beginning
                of the file.

           !command
                invoke a shell with _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. The characters `%' and `!'
                in "command" are replaced with the current file name
                and the previous shell command respectively.  If there
                is no current file name, `%' is not expanded.  The
                sequences "\%" and "\!" are replaced by "%" and "!"
                respectively.

           _i:n  skip to the _i-th next file given in the command line
                (skips to last file if n doesn't make sense)




      Page 3                                                   (9010-E)






      MMMMOOOORRRREEEE((((1111))))                     ((((bbbbssssdddd 4444....1111))))                     MMMMOOOORRRREEEE((((1111))))



           _i:p  skip to the _i-th previous file given in the command
                line.  If this command is given in the middle of
                printing out a file, then _m_o_r_e goes back to the
                beginning of the file. If _i doesn't make sense, _m_o_r_e
                skips back to the first file.  If _m_o_r_e is not reading
                from a file, the bell is rung and nothing else happens.

           :f   display the current file name and line number.

           :q or :Q
                exit from _m_o_r_e (same as q or Q).

           .    (dot) repeat the previous command.

           The commands take effect immediately, i.e., it is not
           necessary to press RETURN.  Up to the time when the command
           character itself is given, the user may press the line-kill
           character to cancel the numerical argument being formed.  In
           addition, use the erase character to redisplay the --More--
           (xx%) message.

           At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the
           user can press the quit key (normally control-\).  _M_o_r_e will
           stop sending output, and will display the usual --More--
           prompt.  The user may then enter one of the above commands
           in the normal manner.  Unfortunately, some output is lost
           when this is done, due to the fact that any characters
           waiting in the terminal's output queue are flushed when the
           quit signal occurs.

           The terminal is set to _n_o_e_c_h_o mode by this program so that
           the output can be continuous.  What you type will thus not
           show on your terminal, except for the / and !  commands.

           If the standard output is not a teletype, then _m_o_r_e acts
           just like _c_a_t, except that a header is printed before each
           file (if there is more than one).

           A sample usage of _m_o_r_e in previewing _n_r_o_f_f output would be

                nroff -ms +2 doc.n | more -s
