I'm not too familiar with opendoors but it looks like you're trying to
modify the user's default settings when it looks like you want to
temporarily disable the pause.
Have you tried setting char od_control.od_list_pause to false? The
default is true which lets the user pause the output.
This may go along with char od_control.od_list_stop which will disable
the ability of the user aborting the text file display.
