Telling ls to display one screen at a time
 

Is that a flag for ls (or dir) that allows only one screen of data to be displayed at a time? (If there is, I couldn't find it in the man pages).

I think there is, but i can't remember it. But you can do it with another program:

ls|more

OR

ls|less

Yep, just pipe ls through more or less.

Less is more ;)

Nope ;}
