No, not really. It's a binnary file.

You can try using the strings command on that file.  Something like:

strings -10 ~/.aMule/known.met

Obviously, there will still be stuff in the output besides file names, but it should all be printable and so shouldn't mess up your shell.  I don't know how smart or stupid strings is about locales and encodings.

You might also try od or hexdump.
