It will populate the screen with one full screen of information, with a
prompt of --more-- to hit enter, or something to continue displaying
information, but, when, for example, hit enter key, it merely populates
one more line of info, each time - under pythn 2.7, it seemed to render
one full screen of info each time.
I don't have Windows to try, but in Linux using both Python 2.7 and 3.3,
pressing Enter advances by a single line.
Same on Windows, 2.7 and 3.4.
Is there rather a different keystroke should use to invoke that, or is
this a python 3.4 feature/issue?
Try using the Space key to advance an entire page.
This works on Windows.
You can also try Page Up and Page Down keys.
Nada
In Idle Shell, help displays entire text and one can scroll up and down
as desired with scrollbar or PageUp/Down or arrows.
