I remember coming across a trick (which I can't find now) which allowed
you to page all of a file, except for the first 10 lines. I think it used
a combo of head and tail to achieve this. I can't just use tail as the
length of the file varies whereas the amount I don't want to see doesn't.

Anyone know of a quick way to do this?
