Was searching for pager bugs and saw this... There is help for the pager.  Type 'h' when in the pager window display and a list of commands appears for which 'q' will exit the help and go back to the display.

It's unclear from this report what is lacking in the documentation about the pager in Octave.

Hi, I know I said to file this bug report. Some simple instructions are in the manual, but they're not very well cross-referenced. I'll work on it.

Users unfamiliar with less pager will not know the commands to use it. Documentation should offer a brief summary of this.
