Well, on a linux-box I (have) to use, (where the "more"-program is absolutely silly implemented; i.e. you can't use j+k, e+b)) I have some 6 logfiles. If I do a more in the directory * and try to search through it (/), I can only search the first file. So I have to resort to cat * | more to browse through all files with the / - command. I think (haven't tried it yet seriously), FreeBSD's more is better in this respect. Still, I think that cat blah |more _is_ a reasonable command to tell a newbie. cheers, Rainer -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Rainer Duffner, E-Mail: duffner@fh-konstanz.de | | & Rainer.Duffner@surf24.de | |Fachhochschule Konstanz, Germany | |"What's a Network ?" - Bill Gates, early 1980s | | Achtung: rainer.duffner@konstanz.netsurf.de | |(die alte E-Mail Adresse) verfällt zum 31.12.98 | | WWW:http://www-stud.fh-konstanz.de/~duffner | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
