I'm new to Unix, but I'm trying to write a shell script to pipe the output of the ls –lcommand into the utility named more. I want to name the file display.

Any help would be appreciated.

not able to understand what exactly you want...

I want to create a shell script named display. I then want it to pipe the output of the ls -l command.

From my understanding ls -l displays the r/w/x properties of files in a directory...

That explain any better?

Sorry about way I type, I'm new to Unix.

so you want to view the ls -l commands o/p pagewise??
if so do following steps
1)vi display
2)press "i"
3)type ls -l|more
4)press escape then type :wq
5)chmod 755 display
6). ./dispaly

enjoy..

Thank you, I believe you figured out what I was meaning.

You could use bash aliases ...
in your home directory edit a .bashrc file and add alias:
alias lsp='ls -l|more'
alias ll='ls -ail'
...
