Error Use of MORE
Hi,

I want to make alias for evry command with "command | more" so that output is shown in sync on terminal.

Is there any way to do this?

Best regards,
Nilesh

Please explain what you mean by "shown in sync". The best way to go about configuring how more displays things would be to configure more itself, not to make an alias...

I mean use of more with every command will display the output page by page or number of say 20 rows at a time as the user can see it page by page.

Really bad idea. You will break shell scripts.

For example, if you alias "cut" or "ls", every time you run any script the alias will be will substituted into the script for each cut and ls in the script -- and break it.
