Actually, UNIX has a way of preventing text from scrolling by so fast that
you can't read it ( or reach ^S before it goes by ). There is a scroll rate
parameter setable vis stty. I am sure most UNIXs have it. Just do a stty
followed by a number indicating the desired scroll rate. Higher numbers are
faster ( note: not all numbers are available - check your manual ). For
example, a "stty 300" will set the scroll rate to 1/32 of what most people
have it set at. If you are real slow, try "stty 75".
Oh, you may have to adjust some switches on your terminal. Good luck!
