/Tn Expand tabs to n spaces (default 8)

Switches can be present in the MORE environment variable.

+n Start displaying the first file at line n

files List of files to be displayed. Files in the list are separated by blanks.

If extended features are enabled, the following commands are accepted at the -- More -- prompt:

P n Display next n lines
S n Skip next n lines
F Display next file
Q Quit

? Show help line
<space> Display next page
<ret> Display next line

Notes

The | is pipe - used in PowerShell, it is often on the same key as \.

Extended features is enabled by default on at least Windows 2003 and higher - therefore the /E command is not required. Pressing ? at the -- More -- Prompt will give you this:

-- More [Options: psfq=<space><ret>] --

Examples

FTYPE | more

FTYPE | more /E
Then press S and type a number.
