Terminal Length 0 on Fortigate

Does anyone know how to do the equivalent of a " terminal length 0" on a Fortigate firewall? Our Fortigate has roughly 65k lines of config in the configuration file - hitting space bar all the way to the bottom is painful.

    It sounds like this might help: 
      config system console   set output standard  end

      Configuring system console only works in read-write mode, and affects all sessions. If you want to avoid hitting the spacebar on your current session, without writing a config change, pipe the command through grep with a single character wildcard, like this:

          show full-configuration | grep .

      Piping through grep removes the "page pause". The decimal point after the grep command represents any character, so all of the output is passed to the screen.

        This is perfect, I couldn't get the other command to work within a VDOM!
