Linux should use less as pager, and respect $PAGER #703
Description
Activity
my pager doesn't clear the screen :) - not so sure about this one - I appreciate seeing the help left on the screen.
This raised the issue that we need a way to specify the pager being used by PowerShell so that the user can change between less, more, and the PS more function.
Change the
morePowerShell built-in to respect$PAGERinstead of using/bin/more.- changed the title

Man allows you to do a Q for quit and then the help goes away and you see the screen as it was before you showed the help. Our help is in-line and persists after it is done. We should fit in better by doing what they do.
We should consider doing the same thing for Windows.
