paginate command output in cli

I've been searching in the command reference, but have not found it. How does one make command output pause after each page is filled before proceeding to the next page?

If I recall correctly, and it has been quite some time, "cmore". As in

cmore showvv

Behaves like Unix 'more'. And now that I write this, I vaguely recall I could also do

showvv | more

I did try shownet | more, but that did not work. I did find cmore on page 23 of the 3PAR OS 3.2.1 CLI Reference. Not sure why I couldn't find it when searching? When I'm in through the iLO virtual console, there are no scroll bars. So, having the ability to paginate the output is crucial! Thanks so much!
