That's interesting, indeed. AFAIK all windows versions ever has had a
more.com available - it shuold bei n your SYSTEM32 directory. Please check
if it's there, and if it could be the permissions on the file that are
somehow broken?
If you don't have it or it's somehow broken in a differnt way, you can run
the command:
\pset pager
in psql, to turn off the usage of the pager. You'll then of course not get
a pager, but you should get your data.
