How to display command output page per page in mongo shell

Question

db.serverStatus() returned many running pages in mongo shell on my Windows 10 machine. What is the command to view the result page by page? less , tail -n or man did not work inside the shell.

I think within the mongo shell itself that is not possible but you could call the shell from your command prompt (or PowerShell etc.) and use more
Something like this

mongo --quiet --eval "db.serverStatus()" | more

Thanks! How do you know these things? I googled for quite a while to no avail. – Treefish Zhang Aug 18 '16 at 17:51
