The paca display is already more than 24 lines, which can be problematic
if you have an old school 80x24 terminal, or more likely you are on a
virtual terminal which does not scroll for whatever reason.

This patch adds a new command ".", which takes a single (hex) numeric
argument: lines per page. It will cause the output of "dp" and "dpa"
to be broken into pages, if necessary.

Sample output:

0:mon> .10

So what about making it "#" rather than "." ?

cheers

Sure, although we'll have to do a better job than the other commands in the help text ;-)
(They use "#" to indicate a hex number and "##" is just going to be confusing.)

Do you want me to respin? (I'm happy for you to just adjust the patch.)

Cheers,
Sam.
