I have my PAGER environment variable set to "less" but ucm is using more instead of less which is far less capable. I have less installed in /usr/bin/less

@ChrisPenner Do you remember why we used UNISON_PAGER rather than PAGER? And @stew, will UNISON_PAGER work for you, or is that exactly what you don't want?

It looks like ucm is currently set to look for executables in this order:

  1. $UNISON_PAGER
  2. less
  3. more

I'm fine swapping it to PAGER, unless we think there are some pagers that don't behave the way we expect?

Alternatively we could try UNISON_PAGER first, then fallback to PAGER
