Notes looks at the environment variable PAGER to determine if you want to use a different program than /usr/usb/more to look at the help page. The problem is there is no way to pass parameters to the program. (e.g., I would like to run my own pager program, say page, invoking it as page -s). Has anyone fixed this?

Well, it's a kludge, but you can create your own shell file which
simply calls page -s, and make the shell file your $PAGER.
