	"Better still, put terminal paging into the tty driver, then you can 
	throw more away (in more ways than one). You don't need much more than
	"cat" any more (with fewer, rather than more, options)."

I don't believe this!  How is the tty driver supposed to find out how many 
lines your screen has?  And how do you tell it when you want paging and when 
you don't?  With an ioctl() or fcntl()?  Then you need a program to do it.

Ick.  Might as well keep more.
