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.
