Which, as I recall, Okuji rejected because it could cause a unattended/non-interactive boot process to hang unexpectedly if too much output was produced for some reason. Perhaps the pager could default to being enabled whenever an interactive command line is in use, but default to disabled when the invoking command is not being executed from an interactive command line. This would be the most logical solution IMO. Regards, Colin
