What to do when there ss no /P parameter?

I used to know how to do this, how to make screen output stop after
each page's worth of text.

It is something like ipconfig /all | zzzzzzz

I can't remember what zzzzzz is and the 4dos help doesn't help -- it
doesn't seem to list every dos "command", the ones that are not
exactly comnmands -- and win98 doesn't seem to have regular dos help.

(Before my harddrive broke, I had solved this problem by using a bat
file to call up some some file that had DOS6 help, but I didn't have a
good backup and I don't have dos6 help anymore.)

Thanks

Press control S - or look at your course notes. ;)

YES!! That's it. I couldn't remember.

4DOS Help doesn't mention it in any primary list, even though it works
under 4DOS. That's the only flaw I've found in their product. They
may well have it somewhere deep inside the help, but I still can't
find it.

Thanks a lot.

*** I never noticed that, but yes, I don't see it listed either. I guess
one could search "MORE", but one would have to slog through a lot of false
positives. )-:
