Hi, I defined PAGER to be a small program that opens an edit pad
in read-only mode. This way I get a new window for each message and
I can keep it around as long as I want. Another possibility is to use
/com/crpad as a pager, but it's slower than opening an edit pad.
If there is interest for such a program, I could post it.
Keep in mind that it's running under sr10.
Hope this helps,
