Thanx Doug The real question is what BBS are you calling? Generally the "MORE" prompt comes from the BBS, not your software. The main thing to consider is are your column and line settings right? If you're using 40 col with 20 some lines, but on the BBS you're set to 80col.... it's going to give you twice as much as you can see (give or take). Maybe it's something the SysOp of the specific BBS can help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Doug Almost all BBS have a profile, settings, or parameter editor. For Express! / TcpIp etc you will find option P or similar and you can set how often the more/continue prompt will appear by setting how many lines it should show, many users set this at 22-24 lines depending on their terminal etc depending on the system and terminal.. control-s stop (start) scrolling control-q resume control-c cancel or quit control-x exit/quit/abort control-z on terminal emulations/some console devices disconnects the session/hangs up other systems have 'more' , 'page break' , 'page length', and similar settings. some terminal consoles have hardware flow control and have their own internal page at a time functions Edited June 20, 2019 by _The Doctor__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
