Usually the PAGER environment variable allows one to set ones preferred pager in the man programm. For example I can set the PAGER variable to less or another pager. This seems to be ignored by the DSL man programm. I always end up in links or so. However the PAGER variable should be honored.

The DSL man doesn't use a pager because it's not really man....it's apparently a script which connects to an online manpage database.
