Hi,
I know I've been annoyed by this (as have many others I've talked to).
How about we enabling paging (set pager=1) automatically for the duration
of the help command, since it will inevitable scroll off of the screen
for console output devices with a limited number of lines?
We can't do this, as it could make GRUB unexpectedly require manual
assistance to boot in certain setups.
Really? When is the help command executed as part of boot? I'm not asking
for pager to be set to 1 by default-- ONLY during the execution of the help
command.
If this problem is solved, I suppose it's fine, but it would have to be
post-1.97.
This is a big dissatisfier with pretty much everyone I've talked to who's
needed help. I suppose as long as it's well-documented in the manual, that
would be a minor improvement.
