    PAGER is not invoked with the raw article file as is because that
    file has all the icky header information, and most people don't want
    to see all that stuff for each article (I certainly don't!).

more has the option to allow you to start at a specific line number
in the file.  This does not apply to all possible paging programs,
but the use of more is so common that I think it would be worthwhile
to make it possible to use this option and get the advantage of
those extra features of more.  *I* would like it.
