On Unix, there are several programs that examine $PAGER (the environment
variable) to know which program to use to paginate output. Two other
environment variables that might be useful are $VISUAL and $EDITOR (both for
editing text), $TEMP (Windows), $TMP and $TMPDIR (Unix) for a directory for
temporary files.
