I have a VPS with Ubuntu running on it. I have a text file I opened with nano. However there are too many lines there and only the first 20 or so lines get displayed. After those 20 lines is this:

How do I make it display the rest? I can jump to some line using Ctrl+_, but I'd rather have the whole file displayed so I could scroll my way through it.

@guiverc Thank you for the answer. Currently all command line editors feel foreign to me and I'm constantly afraid to screw things up. But I'll check outvim.
