<command> | less or <command> | more or <command> | most less, more & most are all called pagers.

Read the man pages for all the options. > Also, is there a keyboard combination that will re-enter the last command? > Like dos F3? > Depends on your shell, usually it is either the up-arrow, ^P or !!. Read the man page for you shell and look for the key word of history. Most shells you can stor a history of the past commands and recall them with something like !5 for the 5th most recent command.
