What about the paging in the shell. The screen can only hold 24 
vertically by default at a time, but bash (maybe more shells, but I 
don't know) hold, I believe, what came out to be 9 1/3 pages at a time 
after a short test. This was 224 lines. Maybe there is a way to increase 
the number of buffered lines, and then you can look at your code by 
scrolling the buffer (Shift+PgUp to go up Shift+PgDown to go down).
