John.Pedersen and Mike Monts ask about having the folder listing
routine called by '?' put through a pager...

This should actually be prety easy, actually, as the program simply 
opens up a pipe to an "ls" process...in the file "syscall.c", the 
routine is as follows:

  list_folders()
  {
        /** List the folders in the users FOLDERHOME directory.  This is
            simply a call to "ls -C"
        **/

        char buffer[SLEN];

        CleartoEOS();   /* don't leave any junk on the bottom of the screen */
        sprintf(buffer, "cd %s;ls -C", folders);
        printf("\n\rContents of your folder directory:\n\r\n\r");
        system_call(buffer, SH);
        printf("\n\r");
  }

To make it go through a pager, try changing the invocation to something
more like: 
	sprintf(buffer, "cd %s; ls -C | %s", folders, pager");
where "pager" is set to whatever your favorite pager might be...

Of course, looking at this routine a bit closer, it really shouldn't
have the "ls -C" call buried so deep in the code anyway.  ;-\
