Thank you again, Jason, for your help about emacsclient.

Concerning my request for a PAGER: 'emacsclient' really does NOT do the job:

You can say  
	emacsclient file
but you can NOT
	cat ... | sed ... | awk ... .... | emacsclient
the latter being the real important use of a PAGER different from more.

I am not a proficient C-programmer,
but I think  $EMACS/etc/emacsclient.c could be modified quite easily
such as to read from  stdin  instead of a file argument when no file
argument is provided.

Could anyone do and post this ?
It would be a neat improvement that may even go into version 19 ?
