Re: Stop Scrolling

[kc68]

Thanks to everyone for responses, but the conclusion I'm reaching is that 
there is no simple command to stop scrolling of the table list in dos.  As 
Hassan Schroder said, "pager doesn't work in Windows, anyway."  I did try

mysql>SHOW TABLES \P less;
and got an error message.  I just don't understand why there isn't a 
simple, parallel command for a table list to, e.g., mysql>select * from 
table1 limit 5;

I assume you are referring to the command line of the mysql client?
I use:
mysql>\P more
or
mysql>\P less
depending on my mood.
Other client tidbits can be found using \h or \? at the *> prompt.
