Remarks
Required
By default, a login user uses the settings of the
screen-length command. The default settings of the
screen-length command are: multiple-screen output
is enabled and 24 lines are displayed on the next
screen.
This command is executed in user view, and
therefore is applicable to the current user only. When
a user re-logs in, the settings restore to the system
default.
Continues to display information of the next
