Thanks for the reply.
I am using windows 10.
>>> import math
>>>
>>>
>>> help (math)
'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
>>> help
Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object.
>>> help(math)
'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
>>>
>>> help(print)
'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
>>>
Also help worked when I switched to plain integer as you mentioned below but
looks like it didn't save it.
Btw - I am pretty new to python hence asking these questions.
Thanks again!
Prasad Joshi.

It may help to know which version of Windows you're using -- XP, Vista, 7, 8,
or 10?
help() may work after switching to a plain pager:
import pydoc
pydoc.pager = pydoc.plainpager
in which case, check whether the following prints "test":
pydoc.tempfilepager('test', 'more <')
If not, please reply with the traceback or error message, if any.
