   When I look at the contents of the file I redirected the output to all I see   
   are short lines.   Also, my own version of the program stops reading after   
   80 chars and calls it a line (so I can count 24 displayed lines and than   
   wait for a keypress).   
      
   Also, XPs MORE.COM allows you to advance a single line by pressing SPACE.   
   The problem remains the same.   
      
   But I realized something: I said "skipped", but did not describe *how* it   
   was skipped (didn't think it was neccessary when I asked for a replacement).   
   The funny thing is that sometimes it actually skips the lines with nothing   
   on the screen indicating it hapopened, but sometimes it just scrolls the   
   screen up (as if only a CRLF is printed), line-by-line.   Also, the /C   
   (clear screen before displaying output) didn't work when I tried it.
