I use LESS.EXE (ported from the land of Unix) for such things.

You could also try tools like FINDSTR (native) or GREP.EXE (again ported) looking for strings such as "error" or "warning". -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
