That depends on your terminal configuration.  I think you can tweak it
somewhere in terminfo/termcap, but I don't know exactly where.

You can get the old behaviour with a UUOC:

    darcs --help | cat

By changing the pager, you can make this the default.  For example:

    if [[ $TERM = dumb || $INSIDE_EMACS ]]
    then export PAGER=cat
    fi

I disagree.  Indeed, when ANY command's output exceeds the terminal's
height, I'd like the output to be implicitly paged.  Until I learn how
to configure that generically in bash, I welcome it on a per-app basis.
