When faced with
Press <RETURN> to continue...
one doesn't know what to do if one does not want to continue.
True, the man page says
An interrupt (typically ^C) has the effect of aborting the
current command and
returning the editor to command mode.
but one is afraid still. Why not accept q etc. to get out of this
paging mode.
