t.cmd is really shorthand for t.puts followed by t.waitfor

So you could try something like this:

def cmd_or_more(str, &blk)
  t.puts str
  loop do
    res = t.waitfor(/:.*>|More\?/, &blk)
    break if res =~ /:.*>/
    t.puts ""
  end
end

t.cmd_or_more('dir', &out)
t.cmd_or_more('dir', &out)

Of course, if the question is really "why does Microsoft hang with a 
'More?' prompt when dir is issued a second time", then this isn't really 
the right solution.

It would be better if you could issue some command to the CLI to say "no 
pager" - like "term len 0" on a Cisco router.

Brian.
