#F Pager( <lines> ) . . . . . . . . . . . . display text on screen in a pager
## <#GAPDoc Label="Pager">
## <ManSection>
## <Func Name="Pager" Arg='lines'/>
##
## <Description>
## This function can be used to display a text on screen using a pager,
## i.e., the text is shown page by page.
## <P/>
## There is a default builtin pager in &GAP; which has very limited
## capabilities but should work on any system.
## <P/>
## At least on a UNIX system one should use an external pager program like
## <C>less</C> or <C>more</C>.
## &GAP; assumes that this program has a command line option <C>+nr</C>
## which starts the display of the text with line number <C>nr</C>.
## <P/>
## Which pager is used can be controlled by setting the user preference
## <C>"Pager"</C>.
## The default value is <C>"builtin"</C>
## which means that the internal pager is used.
## <P/>
## On UNIX systems you probably want to set the user preference
## <C>"Pager"</C> to the value <C>"less"</C> or <C>"more"</C>,
## you can do this for example in your <F>gap.ini</F>
## file (see <Ref Sect="sect:gap.ini"/>).
## In that case you can also tell &GAP; a list of standard options for the
## external pager, via the user preference <C>"PagerOptions"</C>.
## <P/>

## SetUserPreference( "Pager", "less" );
## SetUserPreference( "PagerOptions", ["-f","-r","-a","-i","-M","-j2"] );
## ]]></Log>
## <P/>
## The argument <A>lines</A> can have one of the following forms:
## <P/>
## <Enum>
## <Item>
## a string (i.e., lines are separated by newline characters)
## </Item>
## <Item>
## a list of strings (without newline characters)
## which are interpreted as lines of the text to be shown
## </Item>
## <Item>
## a record with component <C>lines</C> as in 1. or 2. and
## optional further components
## </Item>
## </Enum>
## <P/>
## In case 3. currently the following additional components are used:
## <P/>
## <List>
## <Mark><C>formatted</C></Mark>
## <Item>
## can be <K>false</K> or <K>true</K>.
## If set to <K>true</K> the builtin pager tries to show the text exactly
## as it is given (avoiding &GAP;'s automatic line breaking),
## </Item>
## <Mark><C>start</C></Mark>
## <Item>
## must be a positive integer.
## This is interpreted as the number of the first line shown by the pager
## (one may see the beginning of the text via back scrolling).
## </Item>
## <Mark><C>exitAtEnd</C></Mark>
## <Item>
## can be <K>false</K> or <K>true</K>.
## If set to <K>true</K> (the default), the builtin pager is terminated
## as soon as the end of the list is shown;
## otherwise entering the <B>q</B> key is necessary in order to return
## from the pager.
## </Item>
## </List>
## <P/>
## The <Ref Func="Pager"/> command is used by &GAP;'s help system for
## displaying help sections in text format.
## But, of course, it may be used for other purposes as well.
## <P/>
