I feel stupid having to ask this question, but here it goes.  I've never
had a need to do this until today.

In a console, how can I view the end of a large text file?  For example,
there's a text file that's over 80MB in size and I need to look only at
the last 100 lines or so.  The way I've been doing it is to more or less
(pun intended) set a rock on my spacebar and take a walk and then scroll
up the console when it's finished.  That can get damn annoying!
