Thank you for a feature request. Please, describe what you want in more details. Do you want the results of SELECT, for example, to be output in pages during interactive mysql session?

Yes, restoring the ability to browse the output of SELECT queries would be great.  The --pager option is missing in the 5.0.27 build.

C:\Documents and Settings\ilatypov>mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.27, for Win32 (ia32)

C:\Documents and Settings\ilatypov>mysql --pager
mysql: unknown option '--pager'
