I've fixed this in the version posted a few days ago to net.sources,
Message-ID: <844 at ut-sally.UUCP>, using the same idea as your code,
but a slightly different approach.

This I've not done, since there are so many different varieties of
paging methods out there.  A long time ago, uuhosts used to have screen
paging.  I've gotten many fewer complaints since it hasn't.

The new version also includes ideas from several other people.  I don't
mention their names, however, because what I've done with their ideas
doesn't look much like their original code, as I've condensed several
things together.  Uuhosts now is much easier to install, all of the
pathnames that are likely to be different on different systems are
now parameterized in the Makefile, and the man entry, as well as the
sources, is parameterized.
