Brent - Press the spacebar to go forward a whole screen. Less has lots of neat features that you can read about with "man less" - it can search for text, go directly to a particular line or to the front or bottom of a document, it can go forward or backward a screenful, a half screenful, or a line at a time, and it can even read the file structure of .tar.gz or a .tgz tarball without expanding, so you can see what will happen when you do expand it.
