- I start a python interpreter
- ... Am pottering around for a while
- ... Need help on something...
[So with Steven's solution of PAGER=cat Ive to restart python!!

- ... help can do one of two valid things [remember I am on a modern windowing
system]
-- start help inline, inband (cat)
-- start help out of band (browser, yelp, etc ie some other app)
