With the latest Zsh (and no special settings apart PAGER=less):

bor@itsrm2% command nslookup

Commands:       (identifiers are shown in uppercase, [] means optional)

or ANY
/usr/lib/named/nslookup.help 62%
....

that is , it runs help output through pager (`less' in my case).

Unfortunately, function nslookup hangs completely in this case:

bor@itsrm2% autoload -U nslookup
bor@itsrm2% nslookup
Default Server:  mowd017a.mow.siemens.ru
Address:  139.24.18.1

> ?
nothing comes here; it habgs; it is no more possible to kill it with ^C,
^\ or ^Z.
