Well, that's only set on some portion of Linux boxes.  As you mentioned
earlier, there isn't really a standard, unless it could be said that the
standard is to use 'more' (which is what nearly all commercial Unices do).
Linux is nice here in that it's doing things that are better, but it
should definitely be understood that these things won't work on non-linux
boxes (and won't actually work on all linux machines).
