man ls should give you info on the switches available but I usually pipe the output to more (ls | more). If your searching for a specific pattern then ls | grep pattern | more should work pretty well

Anyway to the question. Is there a parameter to add when doing a "ls" the restrict the screen to one page at a time a bit like the dos command "dir /p/w" The /p is for page at a time and the /w is to show the lists across the page in multiple coloms.
