PAGER                 Environmental Variable                PAGER




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"
