information scrolls off screen

This may seem like a small problem but not when I cant read fast enough.

My system is debian Linux, non-gui and when I am using mysql some of the information scrolls off the screen by the time I have a chance to read it. Is there a command that I can use similar to more?

Thanks

Set the pager:

Code:

mysql> pager more
PAGER set to 'more'

To unset use:

Code:

mysql> nopager
PAGER set to stdout
