I just checked SUSv2 and it seems that you may use less.... note that
'less' may not be present on a specific UNIX distribution.
I guess that there are ~ 20 Million Solaris installations without less.
of course there are many millions of cash registers running SCO UNIX
which has no less to :-) So my guess is that there are more UNIX
systems without less worlwide than ones that include less.

PAGER
Determine an output filtering command for writing the output to a terminal.
Any string acceptable as a command_string operand to the sh -c command is
valid. When
standard output is a terminal device, the manual-page output will be piped
through the
command. If the PAGER variable is null or not set, the command will be either
more
or another paginator utility documented in the system documentation.
