Does anyone know of a pager that has a command that allows you to go to a certain percentage of a file ? Or does anyone know how the code might be modified in a pager like more to do this ? A pager like this would make reading certain parts of a long file eaiser.

After waiting maturely while you mean people :-) ingnored Mr. Banks'
question (or perhaps e-mailed him), I'm here to say that "less"'s man
page, [less can be gotten from comp.sources.unix archives, e.g., on
uunet.uu.net], says:
p Go to a position N percent into the file. N should be
between 0 and 100. (This is possible if standard input
is being read, but only if less has already read to the
end of the file. It is always fast, but not always
useful.)
% Same as p.
