I find it annoyance that when I try to use \? to get a list of commands,
the output isn't paged. I may have missed something, but as far as I can
tell there isn't a way to set a pager for \ commands like there is
for query output. I think it would be nice if there was some way to
do this.

I see mention in the psql manual page.

Thanks. I thought I tried setting the PAGER environment variable, but
appearantly I did something wrong when I tried it. Based on your
response I retested this and it worked.
Should I have been able to figure out to use the PAGER environment variable
from the documentation (rather than general Unix knowledge)?
