"View" works, or I was going to suggest "see", which I'm still partial to over "view": 'eselect news read' to see news items. (And FWIW, select/paste vs. type, depends on my mood and the pointing device I'm using. I used to select/paste quite a bit with a trackball, depending on mood, but I'm using a touchpad without physical buttons as my primary pointing device now, and it's more trouble there, so I'd type it as long as the command is short or can be tab-completed, and only select/paste for long ones or those with arbitrary and hard to remember options, possibly even switching pointing devices to do it if I'm not running X and thus don't have the 20-gesture-"button" programmed flexibility of a well configured xf86-input-mtrack. An text-console evdev-based mtrack driver to parallel the X driver would sure be nice!) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
