[comp.lang.perl] Minor annoyance

gaspar@STL-08SIMA.ARMY.MIL (Al Gaspar) (11/06/90)

I'm sure that there is a simple solution that I overlooked.  How can
I get the 'h' command in the debugger to "page"?  I can look the
commands up in the documentation as I need them, but it is annoying
to have the help information scroll off of the screen.

Cheers--

Al

I just click on the scrollbar...  :-)

If you don't have a scrollbar, I suppose you could set up an alias to say

    system "sed -n '/^T/,/^command/p' $INC[0]/perldb.pl | less"
