When I access help from the Julia REPL, the entire documentation for a function prints out. For an extensively documented function (such as DataFrame), I have to scroll through the docs using the terminal/tmux/etc. In R, only a page worth of documentation is printed out, which you can then scroll through using `less` keybindings. Is it possible to do something similar in the Julia REPL?
