Chuck,
This is what I use in a program that mimics the Unix head command:
# After you have displayed a line, assuming that $Displayed
equals zero at
# the start of the script:
$Displayed++;
# Prompt the user each time after a block of 45 lines has been
displayed.
if (($Displayed % 45) == 0)
{
print(STDERR '<Return> to continue with this file...');
$Prompt = <STDIN>;
last if (length($Prompt) > 1);
}
