Johan,

Before you start the query, do this...

set pause on

Then it will stop at every pagesize. You can also do something like set pause on "Hit return..."
and it will prompt you. Don't know if I got the syntax correct.

One gotcha, it will pause before scrolling the first set, so if you believe your query is taking too
long, hit return!

Good luck!
