<command> | more
The "|" is the pipe command, which will pipe the ourput of the first
command into the input of the second command. More is a program which
will display things one screen at a time. Less is actually a better
program that more, because you can scroll back up using the arrow keys or
pageup/pagedown. q exits from less.
