When you run ncftp, at some point during the session, it rewrites
~/.ncftp/prefs. At that time, it writes the current pager
(i.e. /bin/more) into the prefs file. It shouldn't do that. Some
systems use /bin/more and some use /usr/bin/more. The correct pager
is hardcoded into each indivdual ncftp binary. It should be possible
for a user to override the default pager by modifying his prefs file.
However, ncftp should not automatically put pager in the prefs file,
since the value it writes may be wrong on other systems.
