I wanted to look at a file and figured why not pipe the output of which to 
more, which of course didn't work so I figured if I backticked the which 
output with more in front that would work, and apparently it does (though 
I'm not sure that the cmd itself wasn't executed?).

e.g. more `which apachectl`

Is this a reasonable way to get what I'm after, or a bad thing?
