NetBSD cromarty 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (CROMARTY) #9: Wed May  3 23:49:51 BST 2000

>Description:
NetBSD's more(1) diverges from that specified by POSIX.2 in the following
ways:

more -n <number>, which should specify the screen size, isn't
supported.  more -n in NetBSD apparently suppresses line numbers.

more -p <command>, which should be equivalent to more +<command>,
performs a search instead.

Within more(1), the "s" command should "skip forward <count> lines, with a
default of 1", whereas it currents saves the input to a file.

>How-To-Repeat:
cromarty:~$ TERM=dumb more -n 2 /dev/null
2: No such file or directory
/dev/null  (press RETURN)

cromarty:~$ TERM=dumb more -p G /dev/null
Pattern not found  (press RETURN)

Run "more /usr/dict/words", press "s", note "log file:" prompt.
