This is on Win98se with > Python 2.1b2. It doesn't work in console version python.exe if you set PAGER in the environment. I have PAGER set to "less", a much better replacement for "more". This is on Win2000 SP1. It works if you leave PAGER unset. Please can this bug-fix be applied before 2.1 release? It makes it look like pydoc just "doesn't work", as things stand. And the link to having PAGER set is obscure, at best. Paul.
