Dired has some very nice shortcuts for this sort of thing: If you hit
"v" on a file, you'll visit it in view mode, which means you can hit "q"
to close it. So looking quickly though a bunch of text files just means
bouncing between "n", "v" and "q". I think view mode is great.
Also check "o" and "C-o" -- the latter might be all you need. Other than
that, it wouldn't be too hard to write something like a "follow mode"
for dired. If it closed the files afterwards that would be nice.
