While I appreciate people wanting to help, "suggestions" like this are not exactly welcome because clearly it means that the person did not bother to read the thread first.> Use blat.exe (like tail -f) for such files.
Yes, sorry: baretail.exe of course.
If I was aware, at the point of experiencing the situation (described in my initial post), that the file was in fact growing, my actions would have been different, from the get-go.
I still believe that in this case, Lister should have re-read the file on Ctrl-End, to advance and show more at the bottom of the window -- after all, it "knew" it was only showing 33% (and it wasn't very obvious to me, even to notice that small indication at the corner).
