Limiting Console Output
Quick (and probably stupid) question:
My program retrieves records from a binary file.
I want the ouput of my records search to stop when the screen is full (or, say 20 records worth of data); I thought I'd do this with a loop, but am unsure if there is a function for "stopping" output when the screen is "full" before displaying the full 20 records.
Does such a creature exist?

None that I know of. Since you have 25 lines to print on I always used 24 and on the 25th line I'd print "-More-" and wait for a key stroke to continue.
While you're breakin' down my back n'
I been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
But this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet

Okay. Was worth a shot.
Easy enough to work around.
