I don't know if it gets executed in the right order. Are you using
baselayout 2? The items you mentioned are EDITOR and PAGER. For the
official way of changing global settings, see...
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=5&style=printable
for examples. In my case...
waltdnes@d531 ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/99editor
EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"
In your case, I would suggest creating a file called /etc/env.d/99pager
containing the line...
PAGER="/usr/bin/most"
Note that the files are sourced by name in your current locale sort
order. In just about every locale numbers should sort properly, which
would start at 00blahblahblah and go through 99blahblahblah.
