Try GNU Less (v2gnu/lss332b.zip from SimTel.NET). IMHO, it blows LIST
right out of the water. If you don't believe me, press ! and get a
full-blown command-line interpreter with file-name completion. If you
are hooked, read the docs, as Less has a few more neat tricks up its
sleeve.

Emacs has a `view-mode' whereby you cannot change the buffer contents.
Type `M-x view-file RET filename RET'.
