[mesa-users] Question

The most useful single thing I've ever found for reading MESA history files
and profiles in the terminal:

less -S history.data

from the less manual

       -S or --chop-long-lines
              Causes  lines  longer than the screen width to be chopped
(trun‐
              cated) rather than wrapped.  That is, the portion of a long
line
              that does not fit in the screen width is not shown.  The
default
              is to wrap long lines; that is, display  the  remainder  on
 the
              next line.

And from there you can use the arrow left and right keys to browse
horizontally through the file.  Changed my life!
