%N
|
Move %N into the file.
|
|
b or <Backspace>
|
Previous page (less).

|
E
|
Edit the current file using the editor set in ENV:EDITOR.
|
More also accepts input from a PIPE. The Previous Page (Backspace or b), Last Page (>), and Move %N into file (%N) commands are disabled when the More input is from a PIPE because standard input from a PIPE is of unknown length.
When you use More from the Shell, you can open an editor to use on the file you are viewing (press Shift+E) if the EDITOR variable is defined. Provide the complete path to the specified editor in the EDITOR variable; for example, C:ED.
Example:
1> MORE DF0:TestFile
displays the contents of the ASCII file called TestFile on the disk in drive DF0:.
MultiView
Displays picture files, text files, AmigaGuide files, sound files, and animated graphics files.

Be sure to specify the complete path to the file if it is not in the current directory. MultiView displays a file requester if no file is specified.
If CLIPBOARD is specified, the Clipboard is viewed instead of a file. CLIPUNIT specifies the Clipboard unit to use when using the CLIPBOARD keyword.
SCREEN indicates that you want the object to appear on its own screen rather than in a window on the Workbench screen, using the display mode specified by the object. For example, if an ILBM picture file is Low Res, MultiView opens a Low Res screen.
If REQUESTER is specified, MultiView displays a file requester.
BOOKMARK recalls the object and position when opening a file with a bookmark.
FONTNAME specifies the font to use when viewing text objects. FONTSIZE specifies the font size in points to use when viewing text files.
BACKDROP indicates that the window should be a backdrop window.
WINDOW allows the MultiView window open without requesting a file to load. Using this option lets you keep a small MultiView window open on the Workbench screen so you can drag icons into it whenever necessary.
PORTNAME allows you to specify an ARexx port name when you run MultiView. If you do not specify a name, each MultiView window is given the default port name of MultiView.x, when x is a slot number starting from 1. (For example, if you have three MultiView display windows open, their port names are MultiView.1, MultiView.2, and NultiView.3.) This port name allows you to refer to a particular MultiView display from within an ARexx script.
MultiView supports the following ARexx commands:
|

FILENAME/K

NoFastMem
Forces the Amiga to use only Chip RAM. NoFastMem disables any Fat (or expansion) RAM used by the system. The expansion memory can be turned on again by sending the NoFastMem program a break, either via the BREAK command or by pressing Ctrl+C. NoFastMem has no options. For detailed information on NoFastMem, see the Workbench User's Guide.
