OK, here's the true challenge.  I want to be able to use the same "more
<filename>".  However, is there a way to also achieve the same "pipe"
behavior as in UNIX?  For example:
 <C:\><some command that produces output> | more
I want to do this without having to specify the full path to my dos
directory.  Anyway to do this?  (I know this sounds like I want to have my
cake and eat it too, but there *must* be a way...)
