Personally, I prefer to configure xterm to use a decent-sized
scroll-back buffer (5000 lines, rather than the default of 64 lines)
and set GRASS_PAGER to "cat" (i.e. don't do paging).

You can configure the size of xterm's scroll-back buffer by adding
e.g.:

	*vt100.saveLines:	5000

to a suitable X resource file, e.g. ~/app-defaults/XTerm, or
~/.Xdefaults (you may need to use ~/.Xresources instead if your X
startup runs xrdb automatically).
