fromconsole 1303will be initialized to off. 1304.It Va lines 1305The number of lines. 1306This is used by the 1307.Ic more 1308feature. 1309When this variable is set to zero the 1310.Ic more

1335.Va onpanic 1336will be initialized to off, causing a stack trace to be printed and 1337the system to be rebooted instead of 1338.Nm 1339being entered. 1340Setting 1341.Va onpanic 1342to \-1
