Hello all. I have the need to display large text files screen by screen in dosbox, and back in the real dos days I relied on the more.com command to do this by piping text output to it.

Per the dosbox wiki, I downloaded a copy of more.exe from freedos.

However, I simply can not get it to behave as it should.

I have a folder mounted as my c:\, and in that folder I have more.exe and several text files.

I am typing:
type textfile.txt | more

However it spits the entire text file out without any pauses. If I type more.exe by itself, I get a blinking cursor on the line below my prompt. At this point I can type anything I like, and nothing happens other than the program echoing my typing.

I am using dosbox 0.74 and a standard conf file. Any help is appreciated.
