I know that this is a really n00bish question, but I have to ask.  What
is the command that limits output from a command to just a page at a
time, like the /p command in DOS?

less (or more).  As in, instead of running

   $ command

you pipe it's output into less (or more):

   $ command | less

Et voila!  You get the output one page at a time.
Okies, I get it now

Thanks
