You can do 'shift pgup' or 'shift pgdn' to page up and down in a terminal. Is there any way to move up and down one line at a time (without using a scrollbar, I am looking for something that would work on all terminals)?

Pipe whatever you want to examine through less.
Should work with any *nix-standard program, i.e. anything that supports stdin and stdout.

Alternatively, you can man script and then view the output of that file in less.

Just incase someone didn't know, you can do this in aterm since version 0.4.1 (i think) using shift+arrow (up or down). I don't use aterm but I know a lot of others do. ;)
