type - pausable?

Heyoh,

Loving this, and wondering, when you use the 'type' command at the DOS prompt is there a way to get it to pause at the end of each page? (Maybe there's some /p parameter I'm forgetting that used to work, I've been using a Linux CLI for too long to remember now)

I made 'type' consistent with DOS, so no. In real DOS you can pipe the output through to another program to do that, but I didn't want to bother implementing piping just for that SO - type 'view' instead. :-) You get a paginated full screen text file viewer.
