Although Marc is correct is his assessment of the problem, it turns out
that since discuss uses the ss library, you can set the environment
variable PAGER to a pager capable of backing up when fed input from a
pipe. For example, the program in the watchmaker locker called "less"
can be used for this purpose. I suggest you:
add watchmaker
setenv PAGER less
and try again.
