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
