The solution to this is to be able to toggle the feature.  If 
you have a command that turns it off that should be suitable for the
situation where you are doing batch.  I use X Windows now, and one of the
things I miss is its page mode.  You could select whether you wanted
it to be default to Page Mode and pop up a menu a change it whenever
you wanted to.  When you switched the terminal into raw or cbreak
mode it would automatically be turned off.
