How can I view a dataframe in the text mode console and scroll through it?

I tried PrettyTables.jl but could not find an option for this.

Well, it also works for InMemoryDatasets. One of my formatting functions did not handle missing values correctly, I fixed that.

Using TerminalPager you can enter in the pager REPL mode by typing |

Hence, if the output of a command is larger than the screen, it is shown in the pager.
