<pre>If I invoke the lldb help on a given topic, most of it flies off the screen.
Example:
(lldb) help expression
It would make sense for the lldb help to be paged like gdb (and probably to use
that pager for other long text too).
I understand that there are various workarounds, like using a terminal window
with a scrollbar (provided you don't use a multiplexer like screen, which
messes that up). The best work around for help appears to be something like
the following from another window:
lldb -b -O 'help expression' | less
which is still somewhat clumsy, especially compared to the ease of use of gdb
help.</pre>
