"""A simple example demonstrating the following:
    1) How to display tabular data within a cmd2 application
    2) How to display output using a pager

NOTE: IF the table does not entirely fit within the screen of your terminal, then it will be displayed using a pager.
You can use the arrow keys (left, right, up, and down) to scroll around the table as well as the PageUp/PageDown keys.
You can quit out of the pager by typing "q".  You can also search for text within the pager using "/".

WARNING: This example requires the tabulate module.
