Already requested or mentioned, more than once.

For example at 
http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2012-October/018549.html

Among F1-F12 / DISPLAY files (which would be an ideal place for the 
end user to have this type of functionality), other alternatives 
where suggested too.

If you don't want to touch display.c32, then at least add the "MORE" 
functionality to cat.c32. A "simple" user knows how to use the 
"arrow" keys in the keyboard to go up and down one line, and the 
"PageUp" and "PageDown" keys to scroll one page at a time. Keys like 
"Home" and "End" are probably self-explanatory at this point. 
Pressing [ESC] could just finish the process and would go back to the 
previous state (the boot prompt, or menu.c32 or whatever was that 
previous state), which is the same behavior as in the other "simple" 
alternatives (but not in rosh).
