	When I'm in bash and trying to ls large files I can only see the last=20
	part of the file due to it scrolling past too fast.
	Is there a command to insert that means I can veiw the output page by
	page and change pages when I want to ?

Not sure what you mean by 'ls large files'. 
Check out the utility called 'less', you can go a line
at a time, scroll backwards and all kinds of nifty stuff.

	I've also got a problem with GNOME in that the screen only partially=20
	fits onto my monitor any idea where I can find the config file for this?

	Thanks in advance
