P00>>> more el
P00>>> help * | more

Example 11-25. More Command

The more command is similar to that used in the MS-DOS and UNIX
operating systems. It is useful for displaying output that scrolls too quickly to
be viewed. For example, when you power up the system, the system startup
messages scroll, and the messages are logged to an event log. When the
P00>>> prompt displays, you can use the more command to display the
contents of the event log file. The syntax is:
more [file...]
file is the name of the file to be displayed.
NOTE: If you misspell the word more, the console hangs. Enter Ctrl/x to
remove the hang condition.
