After doing an emerge world (for example), I have a gazillion
/var/log/portage-logs to wade through to see if I need to follow any further
instructions (*sigh*)

Is there any recommended text viewer/editor whereby I can easily step
through the files (previous/next file), read .gz files, jump to the end of a
file, and most importantly, delete the current file?

'less /var/log/portage-logs/*' has most of these features, but it is sadly
missing the delete mode (at least I don't know it).

:n = next file
:p = previous file
:d = delete the file from a list (but not the file system)
Shift+G = jump to end of file

This can be an X app or CLI, however, I think CLI might be better, as
sometimes an emerge breaks things so X/KDE/Gnome/Etc won't start.
