I know with DOS, when you listed a dir it would show them all real quick 'till it got to the bottom of the list. Then what you were left with was the Last several of the list which would fit according to how many rows your monitor was set up to view. I know there was also a key command in the dir request -have since forgotten it- to keep it so you could look at the dir a page at a time.
