An annoying problem that can be fixed by setting $Post (as others have 
pointed out). Though there's another way you might be interested in.

Even if you didn't make a mistake and just have a very large output, 
it's easy to forget to suppress output with a semicolon. And if you do 
remember, there's no good way to view parts of the output.

I've spent hours picking through a large expressions with Head, Length, 
and Part commands. So I wrote a J/Link utility that renders expressions 
as Java trees. It's saved me many a headache.
