We have page mode in our tty driver too.  I agree that it's a win to have
page mode.  However, in the specific case of the ls command, it's still
much better to have it come out in columns.  It's really useful to be
able to see the entire directory at once, instead of having to look at it
in snippets of 24 lines.
