Hello, I just installed 0.63.1 (from diffs, patch seemed to work OK). I just noticed that library() command is behaving differently. It is outputting one line a time and I have to hit the "q" key to advance a single line ! library(help=modreg) seems to be working OK. So are other help commands (e.g. ?library). I can use less directly on the LibIndex file without any problems (pages OK). What could be wrong? I am on hpux10.20 using a bash shell, PAGER set to "less". I also tried "more" or "most" : same problem.

An inelegant side effect of .Platform$show.file(title) which tries to do things in a portable (even to Windows) manner. It seems that this could use some rethinking. PAGER="less -XE" should do the trick for now (no screen-switching, exit on eof -- are there similar options for HP "more"?) Of course, this also affects ordinary help pages, and it doesn't actually page if you have more than a screenful of packages.
