I want to view files in a directory slowly so that I can see them. What do I do? i.e. I type

Code:

# ls dev

and almost immediatly I see the last page.

Thanks

Code:

ls dev | more

Code:

ls dev | less

less is the more developed of the codes it lets you page back and forth though the listing. For more info try:

Code:

man less
