I have $env:PAGER set to less "-PPowerShell help page line %lt (press h for help or q to quit)" and on PS Core 6.1.0 on Windows 10 1809, PS Core uses less and gives me this nice footer during paging:

But in PS Core 6.2.0-preview.4 that same env var setting, causes more.com to be invoked. That is rather rude - ignoring my less preference.

Steps to reproduce

Set the following env var value.

$env:PAGER = 'less "-PPowerShell help page line %lt (press h for help or q to quit)"'

Expected behavior

I get paging via less and with my desired footer.

Actual behavior

more.com is invoked instead.
