Do you want to do it for your program with code
in or used by the program, or do you
actually want a "more" program to pipe your
program's output to? I.e., you say you don't
have "more" on your windows, but from the rest
of what you say, having it wouldn't solve your problem.

So you could write a quick and dirty more.cmd (that would
run a simple more.py to do the work) that you could pipe to,
or you could rebind sys.stdout in your program to control
the output stream (assuming your program isn't bypassing
that with low level io somehow).
