man is good, but how to exit.-..?

[Mikael Ljungberg]

Hi All!!!

I have used man pages since I was running Linux, and there are nice info in thoose pages can I say.

But how do I do to quit or exit from the man program, I have tested Esc CTRL+C and spacebar. But nothing hapen at all, so can anybody tell me how to exit from man pages, cause now do I reboot my computer to get out of man pages.

And I have a tip...

If you want to have a man page to a text file do like this.

#man -c pagename > pagename.txt

Did you try typing the letter q (for quit)?

Apparently the Minix man page for man(1) misses the information that the
PAGER environment variable controls which command is used to display the
man output. On Minix this defaults to "/usr/bin/more -s" defined in file
pathnames.h of the man program itself.

Hi Thomas!!!

Thanks for the help, now can I exit the man pages.

One question...?

Is there any user manual for Minix 3.2.1???

So I can learn me all commands.

What is wrong with http://wiki.minix3.org/UsersGuide ?
Is it difficult to spot?
Is it uneasy to read? (this is a wiki, you are welcome to improve it!)
Is the direct link from http://wiki.minix3.org/UsersGuide/ManualPages to
http://www.minix3.org/manpages/ ("online version") badly phrased?

If you were definitively searching else, please describe it in details.
