Invoke a Pager on an R Object

Description:

     Displays a representation of the object named by 'x' in a pager
     _via_ 'file.show'.

Usage:

     page(x, method = c("dput", "print"), ...)

Arguments:

       x: An R object, or a character string naming an object.

  method: The default method is to dump the object _via_ 'dput'.  An
          alternative is to use 'print' and capture the output to be
          shown in the pager.

     ...: additional arguments for 'dput', 'print' or 'file.show' (such
          as 'title').

Details:

     If 'x' is a length-one character vector, it is used as the name of
     an object to look up in the environment from which 'page' is
     called.   All other objects are displayed directly.

     A default value of 'title' is passed to 'file.show' if one is not
     supplied in '...'.

See Also:

     'file.show', 'edit', 'fix'.

     To go to a new page when graphing, see 'frame'.

Examples:

     ## Not run: 
     ## four ways to look at the code of 'page'
     page(page)             # as an object
     page("page")           # a character string
     v <- "page"; page(v)   # a length-one character vector
     page(utils::page)      # a call
     ## End(Not run)
