More 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 the current file name at the bottom of the screen or --More-- if input is from a pipe. If the user then types a carriage return, one more line is displayed. If the user hits a space, another screenful is displayed.
