Use ViM as a more(1)/less(1) pager replacement. To set as your default pager, export PAGER=vimpager in your shell's rcfile. See the manpage for various options. Of note, custom .vimrc files seem to cause strange behaviour. Creating ~/.vimpagerrc will give you a clean ViM environment. WWW: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1723
