Separate terminal pager for Linux

Description

Separate terminal pager for Linux X11 (uses some terminal and 'less')

Usage

Xpager(pager="xterm")

Arguments

pager

name of the terminal application to use, or "old" for the default

Details

Linux pager in the new terminal window. 'xterm' is default, there is also setting for 'mate-terminal'; 'konsole' (KDE terminal) and 'gnome-terminal' are easy to add.

Run Xpager("old") to restore default behavior.

BTW, for some reason, 'editor()' does not work this way.
