No.

I am clueless.  I followed the manual adding a new namespace.  However 
the tag is interpreted as is.

I also tried creating my own helper class that inherited from the pager 
helper class (in case that was the reason the helper was not loaded).

I am also using xdebug to trace code but I am just beginning the process 
of "meeting" with extbase code, therefore I do not know sometimes where 
to place my breakpoints.

IMHO, I think I rushed into using extbase.  IHMO too, extbase is not 
feature complete despite the version is greater than 1.0.0.  I've been 
having troubles with simple things... (like uploading a file).  And as a 
MVC framework it does not follow the convention over configuration 
philosophy (I have developed with CakePHP and RubyOnRails), therefore 
development is not as agile as with those other frameworks (too much 
code bureaucracy for my taste).  There are of course good points, 
extbase is integrated with a CMS and extbase will standardize TYPO3 
extensions and make them more maintainable (until now extensions were 
very subjective from design patterns and code organization points of 
view).  (Don't get me wrong, I still think TYPO3 is an excellent project.)

If I get the pager to work I'll send an email.
