Subject: [gentoo-user] OT: need text viewer with delete and multiple files

1 After doing an emerge world (for example), I have a gazillion
2 /var/log/portage-logs to wade through to see if I need to follow any further
3 instructions (*sigh*)
4
5 Is there any recommended text viewer/editor whereby I can easily step
6 through the files (previous/next file), read .gz files, jump to the end of a
7 file, and most importantly, delete the current file?
8
9 'less /var/log/portage-logs/*' has most of these features, but it is sadly
10 missing the delete mode (at least I don't know it).
11
12 :n = next file
13 :p = previous file
14 :d = delete the file from a list (but not the file system)
15 Shift+G = jump to end of file
16
17 This can be an X app or CLI, however, I think CLI might be better, as
18 sometimes an emerge breaks things so X/KDE/Gnome/Etc won't start.
