just enough OS scrolling up the terminal window?

[jabe]

I'm making a minimal linux system with suse studios. Everything is working fine and the system boot up in bash (I'm guessing it's bash). when I run a command that take up more than the whole window I can't see the whole out put because part of it is above the window and I can't scroll up. So is there a way to enable scrolling when linux is running just in bash?

pipe the output to a pager of your choice.

e.g.

ls -la |less

to scroll up in the terminal, press shift+pgup

I tried using piping with vim but it didn't work. I'll give less a try thanks
