Use "less" instead of more

Instead of doing "cat somefile | more" try using "less somefile". Less is a spinoff of more which supports vim-style find (press "/" and type what you need to find) and can read sections of file from disk as opposed to reading the whole file in then displaying it. It's also less typing.

Why do you call this 'The Seventh Seal'? It's misleading and that's BAD! I came onyour site thinking it had something to do with the Bible's "7 seals" and it has nothing to do with the title of the blog.

May I hmbly sggest that you change the title of your blog.
