<p>The <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font> Variable</p>
<p> <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font> sets how many lines
are displayed on one screen during screen-at-a-time output. If <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">moresz</font>
is set to zero, the screen scrolls continuously. The ^S or ^Q control sequence
must be used to pause the output, and the ^C control sequence must be used to
terminate output. </p>
<p> For example, to set the default number of lines output by the more command
to 12, enter: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>PMON&gt; set moresz 12 </p>
<p>&nbsp; </p>
</blockquote>
