"more" requires a video > terminal (or emulator), and a shell window is not one of these. > I wonder why you would use it at all when you could just get a dired listing - in fact, the main reason I stopped using M-x shell in favor of M-x eshell was the great ease of running emacs commands from within the eshell without the need to switch windows to execute dired or find file etc. Of course, if you really must use more, I guess M-x term would be a better solution than M-x shell.
