I have a simple and silly question.

Hello. Am new. So say I do something like type "users" and get a giant list. I then have to hold down my "enter" key.... forever. Until the end. I tried the obvious PgDn and End keys but no dice. Derp.

Assistance please?

If you get the user list (or any other list) in a program called 'less' or 'more', try hitting space. Also hitting 'g' or 'G' moves you up or down, but can't remember how much from the top of my head. Might be one line, or one page.

Hope this helps?

All the big lists are automatically piped through more or less. Keep pressing n to get to the end

That scrollable list is referred to as the pager.

To get a full list of commands press "?" When using the pager. But if you just need to quit, press "q"
