UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I read the description of the less command and I'm puzzled that it says you can go backwards while using more(1). I created a large file and when I run the more command on it I can move forward with the spacebar and move backward with the letter 'b'. Granted, the less command has more command options, but it looks like the ability to move backward is there with more. Anyone know about this?

While cat puts all output all at once to the screen, more filename allows to view the output page by page. Navigate through the output using the spacebar and the b-key (back).

Some systems offer the GNU less command, which has more extended features than more. "Less is more", you will hear somebody say sooner or later. less allows vi-like browsing and searching in the text.

I am really sorry, I did not provide enough information on this.
Let me provide some info

They are talking about the *movement*, mind my word

when you use more filename and then use 'b' to go back you will see it starts from the top and using less you will see the text comes from the bottom of the screen.
