More or less on the edge of the page

Have you noticed that whenever you're travelling somewhere new, it's always on the edge of two maps sheets and you have to keep cross-referencing?

The Linux, Unix and OS X utilities more and less are used to view a file one page (sheet) at a time, and pressing the space bar takes you a page forward. Did you know that by using the enter (return) key you can also step forward one line at a time, so that you don't have the sheet edge problem once you find the lines that you're interested in!
