Showing help on '@more'
Syntax: @more@more rest
@more flush
If you have @pagelength set (see "help @pagelength") and some combination of events or commands produces sufficiently many lines of output, you will see a message of the form
*** More *** 37 lines left. Do @more [rest|flush] for more.
indicating (in this case) 37 more lines of text waiting to be read.
At this point, you should give one of the @more commands above.
@more without arguments prints sufficiently many lines to fill your screen,
assuming you've set @pagelength correctly, unless there are not that many
lines left to print.
@more rest will print all of the remaining lines, regardless of your @pagelength setting.
@more flush discards all remaining lines
