How do you scroll up and down in a tty device?

Code:

shift + pg up/down

You can't, pipe to more or less e.g.

# cat /etc/motd |more

# cat /etc/motd |less

no need to even pipe to less with files, just do:

Code:

less /etc/motd

where motd is the file u wanna view all of. Then to exit from less just hit "q"
