that perhaps v7 was new enough that the 'simple' type of CRT terminals, the
ones that were basically just glass TTYs, were in common use. That it would
be possible to use stty to set the number of rows to n, and that just maybe
there would be a 'more' command that would only printout the next n lines.
You know, simple stuff. Nothing about cursor addressable displays, no special
codes for clearing the screen, or text attributes, just screen paging. At any
rate, I may sit down at some point and write a 'more' utility of my own. Not
that I need it for man pages now that I have the offline version of the
manual, but there are still things like long directory listings that it would
be useful for.
Depending on the speed of your simulator, you
could perhaps try to stop the output temporarily
with ^S (and restart it with ^Q). Together with
the ability to scroll backwards within the output
window you should be able to read what is coming
out of your simulated system... ;-)
Good luck,
