     MMoorree is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.	This
     version is especially primitve.  Users should realize that less(1) pro-
     vides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
     Command line options are described below.	Options are also taken from
     the environment variable MORE (make sure to precede them with a dash
     (``-'')) but command line options will override them.

     --nnuumm  This option specifies an integer which is the screen size (in
	   lines).

     --dd	mmoorree will prompt the user with the message "[Press space to contin-
	   ue, 'q' to quit.]" and will display "[Press 'h' for instructions.]"
	   instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed.

     --ll	mmoorree usually treats ^^LL (form feed) as a special character, and will
	   pause after any line that contains a form feed.  The --ll option will
	   prevent this behavior.

     --ff	Causes mmoorree to count logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long
	   lines are not folded).

     --pp	Do not scroll.  Instead, clear the whole screen and then display
	   the text.

     --cc	Do not scroll.  Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing
	   the remainder of each line as it is displayed.

     --ss	Squeeze multiple blank lines into one.

     --uu	Suppress underlining.

     ++//	The ++// option specifies a string that will be searched for before
	   each file is displayed.

     ++nnuumm  Start at line number nnuumm.

     Interactive commands for mmoorree are based on vi(1).	Some commands may be
     preceeded by a decimal number, called k in the descriptions below.	In
     the following descriptions, ^X means control-X.

		 the other commands, remember this one.

		 size.

     The mmoorree command appeared in 3.0BSD. This man page documents mmoorree version
     5.19 (Berkeley 6/29/88), which is currently in use in the Linux communi-
     ty.  Documentation was produced using several other versions of the man
     page, and extensive inspection of the source code.
