screens and folders

Two questions.
Is there a way to review info from a long output dump without requesting it
again with a pipe to more or something similar?
For example there are long menus that fill more than a single screen and I
can't find a way to get speak-up to go past the top of the last screen.
In those cases you can't use a pipe because you are not in control of the
output.

Second question.
Is there an easy way to change in and out of folders or access files with
long or complicated names?
My memory ain't what it was.
I'm constantly wanting to get in to a folder but after doing an ls command
and reading carefully the insane names people use for names cd to nowhere
because I typed the name wrong.
Same for editing. There has to be some easy way to do this!
I get that files and folders should have names that tell you as much as
possible but the mix of letters and symbols along with the length is
straining what little brain power I have left.
