LURKER, here again.  I find the "locate" command works great in a 'term' 
just fine.  There is a scroll bar usually on the right side of the window 
when accessing from KDE, BTW you can put that scroll bar on the left side 
under "Options" if you like.

And if you also like you can do " locate [the info you need] | (pipe 
symbol) more", WFM. HTH!
