If it scrolls 2 or 3 lines off the top, I can just use the scroll-back buffer to look at them, I don't want the pager for that situation. But I am more interested in width, not length. I don't want it to switch to the pager just because a couple lines would wrap, especially when looking at EXPLAIN output. I have played with changing \pset columns, but then other things get screwy once you set that to a non-actual value. I don't recall of the top of my head which things those are, though. Cheers, Jeff
