Ultimately simple, but I don't find the answer: how to stop a list from
scrolling to the bottom when the command SHOW TABLES is entered.
I was wondering that myself so I took a look in the manual and found
something promising: pager. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql_Commands.html
> mysql -p [database]
Enter password:
mysql> pager more;
PAGER set to more
mysql> select * from [table];
...data...
...data...
--More--
You can use 'less', or 'more', or whatever other pager you want to use.
