Why 'more' does not work in help cmdlet of PowerShell here?

I want to see the help contents page by page in PS.

I try | more like:

help about_Debuggers|more

but still does not work and I get pages of info flowing at once.

Is there another way or what it shte correct way to achieve this?

Thanks!

'help' is a function that wraps a Get-Help call piped to the more utility. So by default you should get paged output.

When you execute your command you're actually sending output calling 'more' twice. That said, either way, it works for me. Testes on v3. What do you get by just executing:

help about_Debuggers
