--As of May 8, 2011 5:45:55 PM -0700, Chip Camden is alleged to have said:
For viewing or editing a file, what you want is a text editor. I use
vim, but it really isn't designed for beginners. Whatever editor you
decide to use, I would advise reading up on it before jumping into text
files.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
If you are just viewing, I'd use a pager instead. 'less' is my go-to
choice, and is fairly intuitive.
Note that you cannot *edit* the file in less. You'd have to go to vim or
something else to do that.
