6.2.5 Pager

When any command produces an output that contains more lines than there are rows on the terminal, dico attempts to use a pager program to display it. The name (and arguments) of the pager program is taken from the dico internal variable, or, if it is not set, from the PAGER environment variable.

The dico pager setting can be set or listed using pager command. When used without arguments, it displays the current setting:

 
dico> .pager
less
(Pager set from environment)

When used with a single argument, it sets the pager:

 
dico> .pager "less -R"

The argument ‘-’ (a dash) disables pager.
