Richard,

I have 3.0.1 compiled and installed.  Check the man page for ncftp for
the command 'set' and the variable 'pager'.  There is a startup file
that ncftp uses where you can put new (or modify existing) settings. 
The problem is the default pager is set to '/usr/local/bin/more' and
this must be changed.
