When I really want it, for any given command, I use bash with command 21 | tee /tmp/junk and this suppresses most color-coding so I can view the results with simple tools. It helps to have a really big /tmp (mine has 19GB free at the moment), and to keep using the same name in case you forget to delete the (possibly huge) file. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

If using less(1) or more(1), I would do it this way emerge -NDpvu world 21 | less under the bash shell. There are a lot of advantages to less, but perhaps the most important is that you can scroll backwards if you've gone too far -- you don't have to start over. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

The defaults tend to be in the range of 0 to 500 lines. I often set the value to 30,000 or more, with no noticeable bad effects. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
