Subject: Stop Scrolling
Ultimately simple, but I don't find the answer: how to stop a list from scrolling to the bottom when the command SHOW TABLES is entered.
I was wondering that myself so I took a look in the manual and found something promising: pager. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql_Commands.html
Based on that article, it *looks* like the 'pager' command can be set to 'more' or 'less' or 'cat' or whatever you usually use. I can't quite understand how to use it though. Maybe you can make sense of it though. If you figure it out, maybe you could post a short explanation for the rest of us ;-)

I use it like this:
mysql>pager less -n -i -S
Then, every query output will be run through less (with the attributes -n -i -S, you can change these). It only works in the Unix MySQL client.
