Yes, FWIW, I wanted to add some command for `more'. But at the moment, there 
are several things that prevent me from doing it :

1) A `more' command is a "sugar" command, that is usefull but not essential.
GRUB is too big at the moment, and, IMHO, it is reasonable not to add
such a command before achieving modularisation ;

2) as flagged in the TODO list by Okuji, there are some other priorities
(x86 virtual mode mainly).

So, just to say that this will be probably added in the future, but this is
not urgent ;)
