Two methods come to mind:

(1) Redirect the output of this process to a file, and then use your favorite
text viewer to look at the file:

foo -param1 -param2 > out

redirects the output of the program foo (with parameters param1 and param2) 
to the file called 'out'.

(2) Pipe the output of the program through the program 'more' (or 'less').
Essentially what these do (for these purposes) is show you the output a screen
at a time.  You do this as follows:

foo -param1 -param2 | less

('less' is actually a more capable program than 'more' if it is available, but
either should work for what you need).

>Is there a bash manual somewhere?

You can type 'man bash' to get the bash manual, but it's probably not what you 
want.  If what you want is a guide to the basic system utilities, you might be 
best served--as a quick and dirty solution--by doing a web search on "Basic 
Unix 
Utilities" or the like.
