If a text file has exactly 80 characters on some lines MORE.EXE will not display the file properly. MORE will calculate the number of lines on a screen incorrectly (ie consider a full screen to be fewer than 24 lines). The prompt at the bottom will be mixed in with a text line which is overwritten by the prompt. A text file with
exactly 80 characters per line can be created using NROFF for testing.
