The +.Fl l +option will prevent this behavior. +.It Fl f +Causes +.Nm more +to count logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not +folded). +.It Fl p +Do not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text. +.It Fl c +Do not scroll. Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing the +remainder of each line as it is displayed. +.It Fl s +Squeeze multiple blank lines into one. +.It Fl u +Suppress underlining. +.It Ic +/ +The +.Ic +/ +option specifies a string that will be searched for before +each file is displayed. +.It Ic +num +Start at line number +.Ic num . +.Sh COMMANDS +Interactive commands for +.Nm more +are based on +.Xr 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. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width Ic +.It Ic h No or Ic ? +Help: display a summary of these commands. +If you forget all the other commands, remember this one. +.It Ic SPACE +Display next k lines of text.
