| When you are working in the Command Line Interface, and you run a command, sometimes more info is displayed than can fit on the screen, is there a way to scroll up and read the info?? |

pipe the output to more.
ls -l |more

You can scroll with [SHIFT]+[direction] where direction can be up, down, pageup or pagedown.

If you wish to log the output of an emerge process you can use the command below which will output to a log file that you can read later.
| Code: | | emerge <package> | tee -a /tmp/<package>.log |
If you are reading text files you can use the command below to read them without opening them in an editor.
I find that 'less' is much nicer than 'more' as it has better navigation within the content. If you just want to move up a little but have not piped or logged the output keyboard shortcuts can be used also such as Shift-PgUp for moving up and Shift-PgDown for moving down as already mentioned. However, you can only move up to a limited level depending on the size of the scroll back buffer.

Or just look at /var/log/emerge.log
It's not a full log, but shows what has been merged.
tail /var/log/emerge.log will show the progress of a long emerge.
