cd command in linux console

i typed cd /dev/ it wen to the dev directory. then i press ls which abviously listed the directory contents. but since the dev directory is so huge a lot of it fell offscreen. is there a command similar to dos's dir /p so that you can onyl see a screen worth of text at a time

Code:

---

ls | more

---

This example is piping (the | symbol) the output from the ls command into the more program, which will display you a page full at a time.

also

cd | less
