We use the Berkeley Mail program which, at least at SR9.7, has the
file name '/usr/ucb/more' wired in.  I patched the binary to change the
name to the relative pathname 'more.pager' and then put a link from
more.pager to /com/crpad in our local bin directory.  Now each user
gets a Display Manager pad by default, but can set a personal pager 
if desired.  Ugly but it works.
