ls | less

And--someday--you will read in a book that, in Linux, "less is more".....;)

from the more man page.

Code:
DESCRIPTION
    More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.  This
    version is especially primitve.  Users should realize that less(1) pro-
    vides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.
that is why i suggested less. I had never heard of most until now. more and less are already on my system and most was not.
