For the record...
In 'man most' v5.0.0a-1, the vague text I cited back in 2003 remains
the same.
Comparision, both 'man more' and 'man less' clearly explain postfix commands:
% man more | grep -A 3 -n COMMANDS
49:COMMANDS
50- Interactive commands for more are based on vi(1). Some
commands may be
51- preceded by a decimal number, called k in the descriptions
below. In the
52- following descriptions, ^X means control-X.
% man less | grep -B 5 -n COMMANDS
32- Commands are based on both more and vi. Commands may be
preceded by a
33- decimal number, called N in the descriptions below. The
number is used
34- by some commands, as indicated.
35-
36-
37:COMMANDS
'man most' doesn't explain:
# 'more' not used as proper noun
% man most | grep 'more\|less\|postfix\|preceded'
By default, lines with more characters than the terminal width
are not
Display another line, or i more lines, if specified.
See the sample configuration files for more information.
Postfix is dandy, but even for a longtime 'forth' enthusiast[1] it took
a while to eventually figure out (trial & error) that 'most' commands
were postfix.
HTH...
