                     12: mmoorree is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.
                     13: _f_i_l_e  is a  text file;  the  operator -  tells mmoorree  to read  and
                     14: display the standard input.
                     15: 
                     16: ***** Options *****
                     17: 
                     18: mmoorree  reads   options  from  the   command  line  and   from  the
                     19: environmental variable  MMOORREE. In case of  a conflict, the options
                     20: given  on the  command line  take  precedence.  Every  cluster of
                     21: options must  be preceded with  a hyphen `-', even  if passed via
                     22: the environmental variable MMOORREE.
                     23: 
                     24: mmoorree recognizes the following options:
                     25: 
                     26: -cc Paint  the  screen  from the  top  line  down.  mmoorree  normally
                     27:    repaints  the  screen  by scrolling  from  the  bottom of  the
                     28:    screen.
                     29: 
                     30: -dd Prompt the user at the end of each screen with the message:
                     31:            [Press space to continue, 'q' to quit.]
                     32: 
                     33:    The default is to not issue a prompt.
                     34: 
                     35: -ff Count  actual lines  from the  input  file rather  than screen
                     36:    lines.  This  option is useful when  the input contains escape
                     37:    sequences that mmoorree does not recognize.
                     38: 
                     39: -ll Do not  treat the formfeed character  <ccttrrll-LL> as special.  By
                     40:    default, mmoorree pauses at  each formfeed character, as if a full
                     41:    screen had been displayed.
                     42: 
                     43: -ss Squeeze consecutive blank  lines into one blank line.  This is
                     44:    useful for looking at nnrrooffff output, such as manual pages.
                     45: 
                     46: -uu Display  backspaces  as   control  characters  and  leave  the
                     47:    carriage return-linefeed (CR-LF) pair alone.  By default, mmoorree
                     48:    displays  backspaces  that appear  adjacent  to an  underscore
                     49:    character as  underlined text; backspaces  that appear between
                     50:    two  identical characters as  emboldened text;  and compresses
                     51:    CR-LF sequences.
                     52: 
                     53: +/_p_a_t_t_e_r_n
                     54:    Search  for _p_a_t_t_e_r_n  before displaying a  file.  _p_a_t_t_e_r_n  is a
                     55:    regular  expression, as  recognized by  commands eedd  or eeggrreepp.
                     56:    _p_a_t_t_e_r_n  should be  escaped to  avoid  being processed  by the
                     57:    shell.
                     58: 
                     59: -_w_i_n_d_o_w__s_i_z_e
                     60:    Set the size of  the window that mmoorree displays to _w_i_n_d_o_w__s_i_z_e,
                     61:    which is a decimal integer less than or equal to the number of

                     78:    _l_i_n_e__n_u_m_b_e_r is a decimal integer less than the number of lines
