is there any way to view a long list page by page (such as using /p after a command in DOS)?

You can use the same DOS-style command "more" (well, it really no DOS-style, since M$ copied it from unix, but... ). The way to do that would be:
| Code: |
more anyfileyouwant
|
If the input is not a file you can redirect:
| Code: |
anycommandyouwannado | more
|
There is another version that is named "less", oppositte to "more". The basic working is the same, so just substitute more for less to get more.  Strange! |
