A couple of quick newbie questions....

First, on UNIX I can issue a "l | pg" command and page through the results.
I have created my alias l="ls -al" but I am struggling with the pg command.
I know I can use (more | less) for moving through but by default its only
one line at the time.  I want it to page 1 screen at a time.

Second, I have some filepro files I would like to run on Linux.  However
from what I can read this is not supported under the current kernel.  Is
this a correct assumption?

less is by one line... but more goes page by page

Ok so is there something I am missing.  I can go from the console or remote
terminal emulation and "l | more" always advances 1 line at a time.

Press the space key instead of the return key.

"man less" and "man more" to learn how to move around in a file.
