I tend to use this more replacement (on all SysV's):

more(){
pg -sn -p "-- pg %d --" $* 
}

I prefer it to the one above since it says "pg" to remind me that this isn't
really a more, and it shows the page I'm on, which makes it quite easy to
browse forth and back in the file.  I do in fact tend to use this more
more (:-) than vi for browsing files.
