Currently, in list mode, when there are more results than max_lines, only a prompt asking if the entire list should be displayed, is shown.
$ texdoc -l plain
96 results. Display them all? (y/N)
To minimize the number of user interactions, I think it would be better to show the top max_lines results from the beginning and change to a prompt asking if more should be shown.
$ texdoc -l plain
96 results. Only the top 20 are shown below.

Or maybe 10? Not sure. I feel like usually the one I want is in the top
10. --thanks, karl.
