I think it's just always been that way in UNIX,
i can accept that if that is the case.
there are valid points
on both sides of the issue, and it's trivial to set PAGER yourself.
of course. It's just a curiosity thing for me. That, and of course,
wanting to find out more and understand more about this great OS here.
Sometimes it's very nice that `more' returns to the prompt with the man
page still on the screen, for instance.
perhaps "convenient" would be a better word (and that, only for short
man pages)? 'less' can do the same thing too - with the bonus that u
can get to choose exactly where in the man page u want to exit.
