God only knows why 'almost NOBODY uses the command! It uses ERROR checking because when 'you compile it terminates the File not found errors which look AWFUL. 'When compiled it is over x4 the size of MORE. Hey, it's in BASIC. 'Made to look EXACTLY like MORE! - Sorry about the messy code, but hey 'it works. The main difference between MORE and QBMORE is: CTRL+BREAK :)) 'Tested to handle over 63 thousand lines, but I gave up when it got that far.
