In computing, more is a command to view (but not modify) the contents of a text file one screen at a time. It is available on Unix and Unix-like systems, DOS,[3] Digital Research FlexOS,[4] IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS,[5] IBM OS/2,[6] Microsoft Windows and ReactOS.[7] Programs of this sort are called pagers.[8] more is a very basic pager, originally allowing only forward navigation through a file, though newer implementations do allow for limited backward movement.
