Some commands can display dozens or even thousands of lines of text. When any commands attempt to display more than one window of text, VEDIT
prompts on the status line with:
Display more text More Non-stop Cancel
This feature is reset each time VEDIT waits for keyboard input.
This feature can be disabled by clicking Config, Display options, and un-checking -MORE- operation.
Screen output can also be temporarily stopped by pressing Ctrl-S. Pressing any other key, but typically another Ctrl-S, resumes the screen output.
