PAGER -- Environmental Variable

Specify Output Filter
PAGER=``command options''

The environmental  variable PAGER directs  programs such as  msgs, mail and
others to ``pipe'' their output into  the command specified as the value of
PAGER. For  example, the following sets up /bin/scat  as the desired output
filter and  passes a command line  option to it to  specify that the output
screen has 20 lines.

    export PAGER="exec /bin/scat -l20"
