Say that when you run the Unix command junky in your shell, it spits
out a ton of text to the console, too much for your console buffer to
hold. How would you run it so that you can look at everything it
outputs after it finishes?

will pipe the output to a pager, that lets you read it slowly. If your
system doesn't have "less", it probably has its predecessary "more".
Or:
junky > filename
and then read filename in an editor.
