I wonder if this is one of those cases where 'more' is more :) as it quits
when
you get to the end. Some kind of information about how to proceed would be
good, although most people using zypper from the CLI probably know this.

Yes, most of them will recognize more or less, but not all of them :O( And
it's
a bit of additional work to check what pager is available and display the hint
accordingly, so maybe we should support only one pager (currently zypper uses
less and falls back to more if less is not there).

that's not correct. Now it use PAGER enviroment variable for pager to use (so
you can use what you want). If this variable is not set then is used more which
is ensured by Linux common base.

So after fix (allready in svn), you must exit pager (maybe some help text can
be added after license, but it is hard because we don't know what pager user
use) and then you asked to cnfirm. Is something else needed?
