More information would have been helpful here (my nslookup does not do such things): - Does it use other environment variables? If so, which. In which order? I.e. which one overrides all others? - If $PAGER is not set, does it use a default pager or does it just dump the help to the output? I.e. is it enough to locally unset PAGER in nslookup() or should we locally export PAGER=cat? Could you please try? Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
