Re: [Lynx-dev] Where does -dump output go?

[Travis Siegel]

Or, if you want it to pause after each screen, without any additional 
parameters, try

more instead of cat, and to those purists that claim less is better, let 
me remind those that less and more are the same executable on most linux 
systems, and only act differently because the program checks to see 
which one was actually called.

(thus the statement that less is more))

<shrug>

Cat will work for text that is shorter than a full screen, otherwise you 
loose content, more is for everything else.

Also, head can be used to see just the first few lines of a file, to 
verify the content is what you expected, while tail gives you access to 
the last few lines of the content, each is good depending on the 
circumstances.

(sorry for the slight sidetrack, just trying to make sure all options 
are known. :))
