No. I only type more in in the input box. When I press [Enter], the screen
blinks for a moment, and the I get the familiar yarn screen again.

But, it seems to me that yarn has a built-in pager. Hence the
'--More--(xx%)' prompt at the bottom of the screen. How then is the
external 'more' command different? What added value does it give.

Remember too that the original question had to do with viewing messages
where the line was longer that 80 characters. The solution has to be
either a viewer/pager that scrolls or that word wraps. Correct me people if
I'm wrong, but 'more' does neither; 'list' does both.
