Why have you used braces?

In one of the step, it asks for user to view the file that's where more command is used so that the user can view the file and enter the requirement parameters.
Whatever the reason for using it, its effect is lost once you pipe its output to another command. It's the same as using cat.
Hi,
I am using /bin/sh. I want to display the stdout and stderr on the terminal as well as save it in a file, so I'm using this command.

# echo $?

MAN(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual MAN(7)NAME
man - macros to typeset manual
SYNOPSIS
nroff -man file ...
troff -man file ...
DESCRIPTION
These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man.template.
Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a `word'. If text is empty, special treatment is
applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM may be followed by .B
to make small bold letters.
A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-
indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens.
Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros.
These strings are predefined by -man:
*R `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.
*S Change to default type size.
FILES
/usr/share/tmac/tmac.an
/usr/man/man.template

Relative indents don't nest.
