Dear list,

I am often annoyed trying to get a long directory listing from my unix box
while ftp'ing somewhere. <pause> is hardly useful, since the listing goes
by to quickly. Occasionally, I have found a site that uses |more , but this
is unusual. I often resort to using ftp in Windows DOS mode so I can scroll
up a long listing. Any good methods would be appreciated.

David
