help: attempt to clarify that pager usage is not output length based This may be too subtle of a change to get the point across, but when I first read the original text, I thought maybe the pager would only be invoked if writing more than a screenful. The distinction between this and a pager that simply exits after printing less than a screenful is important on Windows, given the inability of `more` to color output.
