Hello All,

I'm writing a Ruby command-line terminal program using Readline, and in
some cases the output from the commands ran by the user overflows the
height of the terminal.  Thus, I'd like to be able to have pagination in
the program.  Any ideas how to do this?

I found the following blog post
(http://nex-3.com/posts/73-git-style-automatic-paging-in-ruby) that
describes how to to Git-style pagination in a command-line program, but
it wasn't meant for a terminal-style program.  I tried switching the
suggested code around such that I could redirect STDOUT back to the
original IO and could kill the child process used to print the output,
but that didn't work either.

Any ideas on how to do pagination in Readline would be greatly
appreciated!
