PowerShell command pipe line that will pause during get-Childitem -Recurse

I was auditing all file content on users and is using the PowerShell command to get childitems but would like to see the options that will pause the results and wait for me to press any key to continue.

Get-Childitem -Recurse |

PowerShell Command Line

In PowerShell Command Line you can pipe your command through more or Out-Host -Paging

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Out-Host -Paging

#Alias version
gci -rec | oh -Paging

Each page will show with the last line as:

<SPACE> next page; <CR> next line; Q quit

Allowing you to page through the output.

PowerShell ISE

This link gives more information, it seems like it is not possible in the scripting environment: Out-Host -Paging error "The method or operation is not implemented. " (ISE)
