Hello,

I'm using a true console (not a virtual terminal) with 85 columns of 32 rows. Then I cannot always read all output from the shell (interactive mode, not batch command), only the last lines. A great enhancement will be to pass the results to a pager (the one defined by the user environment variable $PAGER if available, or default to more that should always be there as it's a POSIX command) Also, when calling more, use -f (i.e. no folding)

For now it's a bit unusable for me; I have to always use -C option and pipe to a pager...

Thanks.
