Pager not active, even when using --interactive flag

Hi,

I noticed a problem in the GUI: the pager is not active. The problem
comes from the fact that the GUI starts the octave thread in embedded
mode (3rd argument to octave_main), the reason being that it wants to
fire an event once octave is ready, but before the main loop is
started, in order to start a secondary thread that will deal with
workspace/history update.

The problem then is that "interactive" is set to false in octave_main,
because of the embedded flag, even though --interactive is specified
(this only sets "forced_interactive" to true). The pager only uses
"interactive" to determine whether it has to be by-passed, it ignores
"forced_interactive". Is there any rationale behind that, or is it
just an omission?

Michael.
