I find this program a vast improvement on the various versions of MORE that
I have trdied to use. The only objection I have is to the name. I like a
utility program name to directly mean something to me. As a result I can
more readily remember its name and use it more often. I renamed it 'READ'
and placed it in my C (dir). When I want to view a text file (or series of
files on the CRT, I only need to type:
READ FN1 FN2 FNn
where FNn is the file name and may include the path such as:
READ DF0:Letters/Business/FN1 DH0:FN2 DF2:Junk/FNn
and so forth.
If the text is longer than 80 columns, the program does not run past the
view page. Across the top bar is the name of the program and the three key
commands, press (SPACE) to contunue, H for HELP or Q to QUIT.
When you press H there are two pages of further instructions that appear:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commands marked with * may be preceeded by a number, N.
For (space) More
h,H Help
e,j,<CR> * Forward N lines (default 1)
y,k * Backward N lines (default 1)
d * Forward N lines (default 10 or last N to d or u command)
u * Backward N lines (default 10 or last N to d or u command)
r Repaint Screen
R Repaint Screen (disregard buffered input)
g * Goto line N (defoult 1)
G * Goto line N (default last line in file)
= Display current file name
/pattern * Search forward to Nth occurance of pattern
?pattern * Search backward to Nth occurance of pattern
n * Repeat previous search (for Nth occurance)
q,Q Exit back to CLI
p,% * Position to Nth percent into the file
m(letter) Mark the curent position with a (letter)
i(letter) Return to previous marked (letter) position
-x Toggles a flag (may be one of "bcdehpxstwmMqQuU")
E(file) Examine a new file
N Examine next file (from the command line)
V Display version number
v Edit current file with $Editor (default ED)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you like the program as much as I do, I heartly recommend $$$ to the
developer. (Maybe he can then afford to produce more and better utilities)
