Most (Unix)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
most is a terminal pager program on Unix, OpenVMS, MS-DOS, Windows[1] and Unix-like systems used to view (but not change) the contents of a text file one screen at a time. Programs of this sort are called pagers.[2] It is similar to more, but has the extended capability of allowing both forward and backward navigation through the file, and can scroll left and right. most also supports multiple windows.[1]
