Title: More Interactive Commands, Environment Variables, History, Authors, and Availability

Summary

This section details more interactive commands for the `more` utility, including commands to execute shell commands, start an editor, redraw the screen, navigate files, and repeat commands. It then describes the environment variables `more` respects, such as MORE, SHELL, TERM, VISUAL, EDITOR, and POSIXLY_CORRECT. It also gives a brief history of the command and lists the original author and modifiers. Finally, it provides links to report bugs and download the util-linux package containing `more`.
