lines are list on screen, but i can go back to a small history of the

locate somestring | less
You can PageUp, PageDown, and use the arrow (cursor) keys. There's also:
gg (first line)
G (last line)
q (Quit)
/regexp (find the string or regular expression that follows the slash)
n (find the next occurance of the search string)
The manpage system on Linux uses less to view man pages.
You can also use 'less' to look at files:
less filename
If looking at a file, you can edit it by typing 'vi'. after exiting vim, you will be returned to 'less' with the modified file loaded.
