Until someone smarter than me answers you can use VI to jump to the bottom of a file. Like vi /var/log/messages then type shiftkey+g id drops you to the bottom, and gg brings you to the top. pgup/pgdown to handle whats left. If all you need is the last few lines you can use tail like tail -n 20 /var/log/messages. the N means number of lines in this case twenty.
