It already is documented:
PSQL_PAGER
PAGER
If a query's results do not fit on the screen, they are piped
through this command. Typical values are more or less. Use of the
pager can be disabled by setting PSQL_PAGER or PAGER to an empty
string, or by adjusting the pager-related options of the \pset
command. These variables are examined in the order listed; the
first that is set is used. If none of them is set, the default is
to use more on most platforms, but less on Cygwin.
We're certainly not going to copy four or five different versions
of the "more" and "less" man pages into psql's man page, if that's
what you're suggesting. Nor is it our job to point out shortcomings
in some versions of those man pages.
