How to turn off word wrap with "more"
I am running AIX 5. Is there any way to turn off word wrapping when using the "more" command? Or is there a different text viewer tool I can use that can turn off auto text wrap in AIX? Thanks.

tfewster: unfortunately /usr/bin/dt/dtpad is not available on my AIX install system.
I am going to keep this thread open a while longer to see if anyone else has a better solution.

dtpad is part of the X11 software set - X11.Dt.rte - if you decide to install it
There's a replacement for `more' called `less' -- it will scroll horizontally among other useful things. You may find that on your system `more' is actually `less' -- try entering `-S' (without the quotes) while viewing a file.
Good call, svs!
"less" is only standard with Linux & Solaris, but the GPL sources can be downloaded from http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ and it's been tested on AIX (and just about every other OS ;-)
