Less will do exactly what you are looking for,
Just use as follows;
'less (filename)' then if the file is over a screenful cursor to end.
Then just enter 'F'.
I tested that several times to make sure it works. I do use tail on some
logs that I monitor continuously by
'tail -f -n50 (filename)'. Thus limiting the amount of memory used to
store the file.
