Also, if you just want to see the last 100 (or ?) lines of a file.. try the tail command (see "man tail").
For example, if I want to see the last 100 lines of my maillog file.. I can use:
# tail -100 /var/log/maillog
And if you want to monitor logging you can use: tail -f /var/log/messages
Just ctrl-c to stop it.
