I don't know about the other shells but in a CMD or COMMAND shell (either on Win32) you can change the virtual width of your screen by changing the screen buffer settings. Right-click somewhere and go to properties. Check out the buffers tab. I set mine to be about 2000 columns wide and about 6000 rows tall and I hardly get any table wrapping any more (embedded newlines in text data still wrap some rows of data but that's about it). Unless I get more than 6000 rows back from a query, I can scroll up and down to my heart's content. Every shell I know has some form of the MORE command. If you pipe the output of a command-line query through the MORE utility on your system, it will give you the page-by-page output I think you are asking for. An alternative to displaying your output to screen is to either tee your output to a file or redirect it through the shell's > command modifier. Once you have your results in a file, you can view them any way you like.
