This version is +especially primitive. Users should realize that +.BR less (1) +provides +.BR more (1) +emulation plus extensive enhancements. +.SH OPTIONS +Options are also taken from the environment variable +.B MORE +(make sure to precede them with a dash +.RB ( \- )) +but command-line options will override those. +.TP +.B \-d +Prompt with "[Press space to continue, 'q' to quit.]", +and display "[Press 'h' for instructions.]" instead of ringing +the bell when an illegal key is pressed. +.TP +.B \-l +Do not pause after any line containing a +.B \&^L +(form feed). +.TP +.B \-f +Count logical lines, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not folded). +.TP +.B \-p +Do not scroll.

Defaults to current screen size. Argument +becomes new default. +.TP +.B RETURN +Display next k lines of text. Defaults to 1. Argument becomes new default. +.TP +.BR d \ or \ \&^D +Scroll k lines.
