hi martin.
bb offers a lot of option to configure but most commands still say what options 
they support eg.
 ps --help
BusyBox v1.9.0 (2008-02-05 19:33:29 CET) multi-call binary

Usage: ps

Report process status

Options:
        w       Wide output


So this version of ps supports ONLY "w" as option.

i have tried also ps w | more (and less if that matters) and it works fine for 
me.
