If you want to control output from a command so you can read it all then pipe it through the 'more' command, e.g. 'ls |more'. Only the first screen's worth of output will appear and by using the enter key you get one additional line at a time, by using the space bar you'll get a full screen's worth at a time. man more |more hth, Marty -- SIMPL WebSite Creation: http://face2interface.com/Home/Demo.shtml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
