How does man know?

[Bill Smith]

What exactly is meant by "putting the paginator in the kernal or terminal"?   
To me that brings up visions of an IBM mainframe and 3270 terminals where 
one is *forced* to use the pager, even when you only want to scan the 
output and do not need to examine every line in glorious detail.

I don't want the cure to be worse than the disease.
