$ ls|more -e more: unknown option -e Try 'more --help' for more information. I included the reason in my post by listing the Linux environments I use and where I expect this to work. Interestingly the man page for more in Debian 11 doesn't list -e but it seems to work anyway. But not on the others I mentioned. > Are you using some other shell, maybe? Like zsh? Of course. Should've noted that.
