Thanks, the fix (in bzr rev 3106) works perfectly here.

Originally reported as http://bugs.debian.org/612995

From the command line, I can "set pager=1", and then either cat a long file or use a for loop to echo 30 lines, and see that the pager puts up a "-- MORE --" prompt and waits for a key. However, the same thing doesn't seem to work from within a menuentry in a file loaded by "configfile". Try putting the following file as "test.cfg" somewhere grub can get at, and then loading it via "configfile /path/to/test.cfg" from the grub command line:

Loading test.cfg via configfile will bring up a menu with two entries. Choosing either one of them should prompt for a key at the end of the menuentry, and choosing the first one should additionally have a MORE prompt after 24 lines as well as the prompt at the end.

If instead I make that file grub.cfg, rather than loading it via configfile from the command line, then the MORE prompt works in the first menu entry, but I still don't get prompts at the end of each menuentry's output like I did with previous versions of GRUB2. (I know that it works with at least bzr revision 2587.)
