Does the Cygwin Bash Shell have the equivalent of the "more" command. The
book I'm using to try and learn about Linux uses this command a lot and
Cygwin reports that the command doesn't exist.
Perhaps there is a different, equivalent command.
Thanks.

The command you are looking for is 'less'.
It is equivalent to more but less can also scroll backwards...

Is there anywhere to get the source for more? I would like to add it
as less does not handle ansi colors at all, so ls --colors | less shows a
lot of ESC codes instead of colors, whereas more will show the colors.

It's also worth noting that this is exactly the kind of question that can
be found in the FAQ.
Where can I find "more"?

The FAQ is a great source of information and best of all, it provides
instant gratification! No waiting for that return email message with

Yes, it's name is (sarcastically) "less".
It's an external program though.

'more' is not distributed with cygwin. Try the command 'less' which does a
similar thing but is actually more powerful.

Does the Cygwin Bash Shell have the equivalent of the "more" command. The
book I'm using to try and learn about Linux uses this command a lot and
Cygwin reports that the command doesn't exist.
Perhaps there is a different, equivalent command.
Thanks.

The command you are looking for is 'less'.
It is equivalent to more but less can also scroll backwards...

Is there anywhere to get the source for more? I would like to add it
as less does not handle ansi colors at all, so ls --colors | less shows a
lot of ESC codes instead of colors, whereas more will show the colors.

It's also worth noting that this is exactly the kind of question that can
be found in the FAQ.
Where can I find "more"?
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC51
The FAQ is a great source of information and best of all, it provides
instant gratification! No waiting for that return email message with
the answer! :-)

Yes, it's name is (sarcastically) "less".
It's an external program though.

'more' is not distributed with cygwin. Try the command 'less' which does a
similar thing but is actually more powerful.
