Great idea!  More precisely, if on startup of Sage we set the LESS
environment variable as follows (only setting it if it isn't already
set), then the prompt at the end of docstring will be "(END - press q
to quit) " instead of the cryptic "(END)":

   export LESS="-P?n?f%f .?m(file %i of %m) ..?e(END - press q to
quit) ?x- Next\: %x..%t"

This is now the palindromic trac 12421:
