- | If I may be so bold as to suggest a change, have Gopher not read the
- | PAGER environment variable and save Pagercmd in .gopherrc like
- | Telnetcmd, Mailcmd, etc. In addition, an environment variable for
- | GOPHER_PAGER could be added, like GOPHER_TELNET, GOPHER_MAIL, etc.

- It's better to have gopher behave as most other programs do, than
- to have it be the one exception to the rule, because it doesn't
- happen to work with "less" quite the way you might prefer.
- Consider the alternative of
- alias moregopher '(unsetenv PAGER; gopher)'
- or equivalent ...
