What were you trying to do?
I was trying to use "finger foo@mit" where foo was a person's last
name, to get their email address. Because the name (levin) matched
several people, I piped the output to more. ie:
finger foo@mit | more
What's wrong:
To scroll the output one line of a time, I hit the 'return' key.
Instead of scrolling and showing additional lines of output
(1 at a time for each 'return'), it scrolled and showed blank lines
of output. Hitting the space bar worked correctly, showing additional
screensful of output.
What should have happened:
For each 'return', the screen should have scrolled and showed one more
line of the output from the "finger foo@mit" command.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
none
