locate / cat question 2

[percent]

How would this be done:
find all of the .forward files then display the contents

locate .forward #This will find all of the .forward files
but how would I beable to display all of the contents
is there a list type command that I can feed the "locate .forward" output to then execute a command with each line of data such as "cat"

this question is more about the list question than the .forward question - I thought that if I knew how to execute a command for each line of data - that is would come in handy often


Any help would be greatly appreciated
