	This runs a 'find' and pipes it's output to more.

	This also runs a 'find', and pipes it's output to more, but you've
given more a filename of ';', so it ignores stdin, and tells you that it
can't open ";".

	Perhaps you might try:

	find . -atime +6 | xargs ll | more

which may or may not do what you wish.
