print a string, N lines at a time
More(S:STRING):NULL
More():NULL
|
The purpose of this function is to print the string S without
scrolling off of the screen.
The first form of this function stores the string S in a
MoreDevice,
then prints the first N lines from the MoreDevice where N is the
integer stored in the global variable MEMORY.MoreCount. Subsequent
calls to
More print the next N lines from the MoreDevice, (each time
removing the lines from the device) until the MoreDevice is empty.
After each call to
More a line with
More(); is printed as long as
the MoreDevice is not empty. This line is easily cut-and-pasted.
The user may set the number of lines to print with the command
MEMORY.MoreCount := X, where X is an integer. The default is value
is 20.
If E is
any CoCoA object, the command
Sprint(E)
converts E into a string. The output may then be given
to
More for printing.
