Being a relative newbie here, I was somewhat reluctant to post to
'developers', but as it's the season of goodwill thought I'd chance
my arm.

Two more questions: (1) do you use textwin, and (2) does your monitor
offer a character mode better than 80x25?  If the answer to both of
these is 'yes', you have a workaround, if not a solution.  Ever
since I installed textwin, I haven't looked back.  I use a screen
mode of 132x30 (finding 132x43 or 60 hard to read) and have yet to
come across a pager problem using FTP.

Please feel free to mail me directly if you need further info, as
this reply is somewhat off-topic here.
