In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I had the same problem at first. I found the command though: use "less" instead of "more". It works basically like more but it also lets you scroll backwards, which can be useful. On Wed, 29 Sep 1999 HELIRV@aol.com wrote: > Hello, I am a newbie, so thanks for your patience.
