The comment lines (beginning "#") are entirely optional, obviously, but
explain everything I might say about it.

Note that the line beginning "define prompt" wraps twice (on an 80-character
screen) but has to be all one line.

To do only what you asked, the only line from this you'd need is
the 'define pager "more -d"' one.  (And you can issue it from an Ok: prompt,
if you want it on a one-time basis.  Creating a .cfonce file is the way
to make it permanent.)
