Hi:

You can use mc. Just type mc at the prompt. MC (Midnight Commander is a
shell that lets you navigate the file system easily. You can also use it
to view text files, html files, and those compressed man pages in the
/usr/man directory.

You can also use less, cat or more to view text files. Just type:

less filename

at the linux prompt. The same goes for the commands "cat" and "more" too.

Toodles!
