I'm using R under Linux. Since the help function in R can use the
program less to display text, I'd like to know if it is possible for a
user to do the same. It would be very helpful to be able to view large
objects (matrices/dataframes etc) using less. This is preferable to
redirecting output to file or to clutter the workspace with too much
output. I have tried to use functions pipe and sink, but I have had no
luck getting it to work. Can this be done?
