Some commands (in particular, the Show command) can potentially produce many lines of output.
After a predetermined number of lines of output in response to a single command, the user is prompted
to enter y(es) or n(o) to continue the output. The line number limit is defined with the DISPLAY-LINES
parameter of the Command-Line-Interface command.
